I applied online. I interviewed at Simon-Kucher (London, England)
Interview
Travelled to the London office for a half-day interview. Was given a laptop and information pack and told to prepare a case for 1 hour.
I then presented the case to a partner and two associates. They asked questions on the case and then a behavioural assessment.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What are your motivations for joining us over other consultancies?
It was a very smooth process. The first step was an online assessment (questions were standard numerical / logical assessment questions as with most consultancies) followed by HR interview (motivations, background, basic questions) followed by case interview
The first round was an HR Call and the final round was a case interview with partners. I had some preparation time. Following the preparation, I was asked some questions about the case and myself
Very chill, very friendly. Two rounds, first round is 1 to 1. second round is 3 back to back with partners. first round only have case interview, second round is case with behavioral. And it's more of partner free style type.
