Interview
I applied around mid October and got the invitation for an interview end of November. There were 2 rounds of interview. I only got to the first round, not the final because it is very competitive. I also didn't prepare as much as I should. In the first round, there were 1 case interview and 1 general CV interview.

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
tell me about yourself, why consulting and the case question
I applied online. I interviewed at Oliver Wyman (Milan) in May 2026
Interview
Pre-selection with one mini-case/brain teaser of 30 min. Overall, the case was testing both numerical reasoning and logics I would say. If you prepare the mini cases correctly you can pass.
Interviewers never attended on time. Rescheduled 7 times. Cases were easy relative to other firms. They dont take candidates very seriously so prepare for that. Personal questions include why OW?
