10 min behavioural 30 min cases. 2 first rounds, 1 final round. pretty conversational, interviewee led. people write their own cases so not sure about areas of focus

Thanks!

OP: all above comments are accurate.
I loved the process, every interview was an interesting interaction and learning experience for me. Kudos to @strategy&


One thing I will add is that the process was surprisingly quick. You wont get time to prep cases once you start the process. It literally took 5 days for me. Monday- recruiter called, scheduled first round on Tuesday. 2 more rounds back to back on Thursday. Had a verbal offer on Friday.
As people mentioned- cases are less structured each interviewer has their own cases.
Feel free to DM if you have any other questions.

Appreciate it!

(Don't know how to change name from PwC to Strategy&)

Applied out of undergrad for full time in October 2019. First round was 2 video back to back 30 minute case studies (1 market sizing, 1 traditional case).

Final round was an in-person ~6 hour group case study (~8 interviewees), that alternated between collaborative exercises and solo heads down exercises, with plenty of breaks throughout. Can't imagine they're doing this right now, but if they are just try to be personable and as collaborative as possible!

Thank you!
