Oliver Wyman Interview

I have a first round interview coming up at OW, I’m applying as an experienced hire in their financial services practice, just curious that if the case interview will be focused on financial services specifically or just business strategy in general (market entry, profitability, etc)? Nervous because bc I need to brush up on my finance knowledge if that’s the case. Any other tips/past interview experiences would be appreciated, TIA!Oliver Wyman

Just went through this process recently, around half the cases were financial services related but they were general enough you can do well through applying the same logic you do to any case (I had 1 case first round and 4 cases final round, with 2 of the final cases being presentation style where you have time to make a deck/do research)

Feel free to do so!

It will probably be something on that line, yes

Back when I did mine I was a entry level straight out of undergrad and had 4 out of 5 interviews (2 rounds with 2 interviews + one additional interview) with cases related to financial services.

For an experience hire that's joining with a given background, I'd be very surprised if there wasn't anything related to our biggest practice - specially if you already have some background on it

I'm more of a fan that if you prepare for a general case you're good for a specific one - aka I don't think you should focus on practice only FS cases (but a couple won't hurt).

But it can also be a good thing to do to read things related to FS that were in the news recently (like digital payments)

My first round case was not industry specific. Just business overall and straightforward. Next two cases were healthcare specific since I’m in HLS

Hi,
My current company is going out of business next week. I am rushing to get my next job lined up (probably won’t happen in time but I’m trying my best). My question is: should I be honest about why I’m looking for a new job? Is it wrong to not share this info during my interviews? Is this situation going to affect my interview process somehow? Please share your thoughts and wisdom! Thanks!

I had a job interview for a role that I really want. The hiring manager scheduled me for an interview and did not show up. Emailed me an hour later stating that he got super busy and couldn’t attend, and would like to reschedule. This is a major red flag, but I can’t help but feel that I am missing out since this role pays 50% over what I currently make. Should I let the recruiter know? What’s your take on this?

If you go for interview and you sort of know that the person interviewing you might be curious about something on your negative on your resume like why is there a gap or why were you in XX role for so long?

Do you address it pre-emptively? Or does that show insecurity and you leave the elephant in the room and wait till they ask you?

I guess this is more in the case of networking than interview like do you make your own story?
