Difficult Interview
Overall Positive Experience Interviewed and No Offer

Interviewed Oct 2009 in Chicago, IL (took 5 days)

First round interviews were on campus and consisted of two short case interviews -- one with a Consultant and one with a Partner. The Partner played bad cop, yawned, and shot down most responses. After surviving that round, the second round is three interviews at the office location of your preference with Partners. Generally these interviewers were friendly. Half the time was allotted for "fit" questions, and the rest for the cases. They got back to us about decisions that afternoon.

Interview Questions

Why are XYZ Manufacturing Co.'s profits declining?
Should ABC Drug Co. decide to build a remote call center?

Other Details

The interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview.
