Oliver Wyman fish - I heard back for a final round after 1 month of my first round interviews. My feedback was that my case was strong but for not as much so. Regardless they want to proceed with the final round which will be 3 interviews but want to schedule only one. Said it’s a take home case and then a presentation to a partner. Anyone who’s heard of this before?

Sorry - I meant

My feedback was that my case interview was strong performance but my fit not as much.

For some specific capabilities we have a more technical exercise that may be a bit more prep than the panel case format OW2 describes. It may still culminate in a presentation, but instead of 30 min to review some facts and structure what is still largely a traditional case interview, we might give you an actual dataset further in advance, and ask to perform some analysis on it and present your findings.

I have never heard of us doing a take home case, what practice is this for?

I went through the process recently. I had a take home case and the present to a Principal. I also had a panel presentation with couple of partners and finally a fit with a partner. It’s for Digital US. Waiting for the decision.

We have historically been one of the only firms that had a “presentation case” as part of the interview process. You would get a room with a white board and a folder of materials. Then you have 30m alone to read through, come to a recommendation, and sketch out some visuals to present to the partner at the end of the 30m.

This helps us understand if you can engage with people. We oscillate between using them and not, but in this case they may have chosen it to test your ability to present since you didn’t do well on the fit.

Either way it sounds like just a remote version of our presentation case we used to do pre-Covid.

Update: it’s been a week since I got the phonecall and I have still not heard back from the recruiter. I even asked her if she needed anything from me.
Absolutely frustrating how bad the OW recruiting experience is :(.

I recently had an initial interview for a technical recruiter position. The guy on the phone stated that this is not a 9-5 job and long hours are expected.

From that conversation, I saw instant red flags. Any thoughts?
