2 Fälle
Ich hatte insgesamt drei Interviews. Im ersten Interview sollte ich die Go-to-Market-Strategie eines Unternehmens recherchieren und präsentieren. Die beiden weiteren Interviews waren klassische Case Interviews. Insgesamt waren die Gespräche sehr angenehm. Die Cases waren fair und inhaltlich auf die Expertise von SK abgestimmt.
2 rounds. 1 case interview first round with some behavioral sprinkled in and immediately moved to final round. 3 case interviews final round with behavioral in each of the interviews
1 interview first round and 3 interview final. Typical consulting first round, but final round had more uncommon cases, including a bit of brainteasing, unseen data visualization plots, and very uncommon business case. More emphasis on your ability to think mathematically and extract insights from data. Hard to prepare for these final round interviews. Not your typical case
