I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Oliver Wyman (London, England) in May 2011
Interview
The first round interviews (4) was very straightforward and consisted of mostly market sizing questions. The second round (4) was considerably more advanced, with complicated computational problems as well as strategic ones (will divesting obtain a bank's desired cost reductions). Although I did not receive an offer, it was a very positive and well managed experience.

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?
