I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Strategy& (New York, NY) in Feb 2022
Interview
I had an initial screen with HR to make sure my background aligned with the role.
1st round was a 45 minute one on one with a manager. General fit questions, high level questions related to my experience and projects I worked on, and a case interview.
2nd and final round was 2 back to back 45 minute interviews with a director and a partner. Very few fit questions, heavy deep dive into the projects I worked on and my responsibilities. A few brainteasers and a case.
Received offer a few hours after the final interview. Overall tough, but a very fair process, with nothing unexpected. Though cases are important part of the interview, I felt that the most critical aspect for my interviewers was my ability and previous experience.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Strategy& (Madrid)
Interview
Entre 3 y 4 entrevistas con managers/senior managers y 1 socio. Mucho foco en casos prácticos. Quizá demasiado hincapié en hard skills y muy poco en aspectos personales/fit, valores y cultura empresarial
Had two rounds of three interviews each, back to back, over two weeks. The first round with managers (one with a SA) and the second with partners at the firm. The process was well managed. The interview consisted of a regular case interview pattern - prompt, analysis recommendation. Nothing unusual.
