I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Strategy& (Londres, Angleterre) in Feb 2017
Interview
Online screening tests in early January, then assessment centre for me was 1st Feb, then invited for final round interview which was 14th Feb.
Two interviews in assessment centre - unstructured, which was 25 minutes of competency based / motivational questions, and 20 minutes of a market sizing question which then led to a simple case study (e.g. how to increase profit); and structured, where I was given 15 minutes to analyse about 7 pages of information/data for a case study question, and then had a 1 to 1 discussion for around 40 minutes.
For the final round interview, there were three interviews - the first two are unstructured and structured, just like the assessment centre. The unstructured interview, however, for me, was 35 minutes of discussing my CV and my motivations for applying, then 10 minutes of market sizing. The structured interview was identical to the assessment centre - no difference in difficulty either in my opinion. The third interview was a presentation exercise, where I had to go through around 20 pages of information/data, draw visual aids, and come up with a recommendation to present for 10 minutes to two interviewers all within 30 minutes. The 10 minute presentation was followed by questions (and criticism) from the interviewers, and other broad questions regarding the topic.

Question 1
Total of four marketing sizing questions in assessment centre and final round interview.
Various case study questions.
I interviewed at Strategy& (Casablanca, Grand Casablanca)
Interview
Smooth but very long time to receive the final decision. Took about 3
-4 weeks to do all the interviews, 2 rounds of 2 inteviews but waited over a month for a final answer
2 -45 minute interviews half case and half behavioral, first round is an assessment that looks at your interpersonal skills and strengths and then you move directly into the superday
De sollicitatieprocedure was erg professioneel en persoonlijk. Alles wordt haarfijn uitgelegd, waarbij je zelfs de mogelijkheid krijgt om een case met een consultant te oefenen voordat je op gesprek komt.

Waarom Strategy& en niet een ander consultancy kantoor?
