Interview for M at L.E.K. Consulting. Recruiter said it’s 30 mins behavioral and a 15 min case. What kind of case is it? 15 mins isn’t much time so assuming this isn’t a typical case.

Anyone familiar with this part of the interview process and can help me out? TIA!

Not at LEK but we do a similar format: 45 mins total: 30 behavioral and 15 case. At this level, the case is just to verify your brain works and it’s not just there.

I would assume that they'd throw some small market sizing or other pretty straightforward thing out there. If they're only doing 15 minutes once, then like D1 said they're probably just trying to validate what they already think about your capabilities.

Question for you - what region are you interviewing for? I had heard that LEK wouldn't start experienced hire interviews until at least November, so curious if I should be trying now or still wait a bit.

Thanks, LEK1, very helpful context!

I was just informed after the third round of interviews they’d like at least 5 references, two must be supervisors.

Anything before that was grad school and I haven’t kept in contact with any professors from over five years ago. What should I do? 😕

Hey all! I went through the interviewing process with a company and we had a verbal agreement on X amount of salary per year. They liked me and extended an offer but the offer was for $15K less than what we agreed bc that’s what HR approved for. I was desperate so I took it. Accepting this offer meant that I had to relocate to the other side of the country. Omw that was 2500 miles, I received a call that they rescinded the offer. Is there anything legal that I can do to sue them?

I need some insight. Just had a phone interview for a management job in healthcare. I felt comfortable and felt like the interview went well. I ask questions and the ACNO said that I asked great questions. They said that they had other interviews to do as well but said the next step is to bring me in for an on-site interview (I live 1,000 miles away) and that the recruiter would be reaching out. Thoughts? I’m going to drive myself crazy analyzing everything.
