Interview Details –
First round interviews consisted of two back to back interviews on campus--one with a manager and one with a consultant. Final rounds consisted of three back to back to back interviews in the office--one with a manager and two with partners/VP's.
All interviews were 1/2 hour, and about 20-25 minutes were devoted to the case with only 10-5 minutes devoted to "fit". Most fit questions were just resume questions. 2 of my 5 case interviews were pure market sizing, and the other 3 were very white space strategy.
In my opinion, the key to non-market sizing L.E.K. interviews is to insight some interesting discussion with the interviewer about the case at hand. They usual are giving you a case that they have recently completed and are excited to talk about interesting aspects of the case if you can highlight them.
Interview Questions
-
First Round:
Your client is a company that has created a DNA testing machine to be used in hospitals (they gave more background on the product that i cannot remember). The machine can do literaly thousands of different tests, but they want to have some strategy around how to choose the top 20 tests to focus on for the machine so as to develop a core competency. How do you suggest they go around this? Answer Question -
Final Rounds:
Our client needs to gain an understanding of the size of the U.S. market for workers compensation. Estimate for me the totally yearly amount of money spent on lost wages due to workers recuperating from on-the-job injuries (i.e., do not include the price of medical bills). Answer Question
Negotiation Details – I did not need to negotiate--it was my best offer and they gave me substantial time to accept. As an intern, it's hard to argue with them when their process is so fine-tuned and in place.
Other Details - I applied through campus recruiting and the process took 3 weeks.
