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
