I was recruited from Business School, so the process was different.
There was no case per se, but you needed to demonstrate a strong
knowledge of the firm, not the "I didn't know Gartner had a consulting
arm", the HR person let me know that was a sure fire way not to advance
to round to. The second round interview was a group interview with a
number of future managers and colleges. It was a "grip & grin" do we
like this candidate type of interview.
Not coming from Business School is a rigorous case interview that
requires you to price a deal and develop the deliverables and basic
strategy for running the engagement. the same case is used regardless
of the position that you are applying for, but the expectations are
different (Ass. Consultants - recognize some general trends and where
their expertise can help, Consultants - what work products would be
expected, Sen. Cons - Con. plus the complete engagement, Associate
Directors - S. Con plus how to run the engagement, Director - Ass. Dir
plus what type of follow on work should we position ourselves for, VP -
Dir plus how to extend the relationship with the client and best
leverage the firm to meet the client's needs.
All case are presented to three or four current employees (Consultants
of various levels, but at least one Director or VP). Interviews can
last 45min. to 1 hour and you may have more than one per visit. Plan on
at least 2 hours of interviewing.
