Hey MENA fam. I have a case study and a behavioral interview with Kearney for a senior business analyst role. Can anybody please shed some light on what the interview process is like? Thank you so much!

15’ traditional fit interview. 45’ minutes case interview. For the first part, be genuine, be yourself. Tell us why you genuinely think you will add something to Kearney and your true inspirations for this job. For the second part, you will surely need to ace the case (business acumen + calculations). But more than that, you will need to be different, we see a lot of candidates that all easily solve the case. You will need to show your particularity by your singular approach to things, the contextualization of the case (region, economics, etc..) , the details of your explanations and the bigger picture impacts that you would expect on the client. Good luck.

Are the cases pretty generic or focus on public sector cases?

Nothing else to add beyond what K1 said.

Good luck!

For the behavioral part, look into the STAR method of answering. We don’t just want to understand what you did, but what you learned from the experience, whether the outcome was good or bad, an opportunity to learn is always positive.
For the case, don’t try to horseshoe a standard framework, really listen to the issue and build your framework to solve the case based on it. It is really obvious when someone is just picking from a catalogue instead of listening to the interviewer and tailoring their approach.

Currently scheduling “on sites” for a S&O role in CA. My referrer said they can hire as L5 or L6. Would like to land in the L6 bucket as I’ve heard 5 --> 6 is one of the more challenging promotions.

I’m looking for info on what the real difference is in responsibilities (manager vs IC, cross functional vs focused, etc) so I can focus on checking the L6 boxes during my interviews.

I’m also curious about whether this is something that I should just discuss with my recruiter directly?
