Interview
Started with a test with basic math, statistics and data interpretation questions. They then had two rounds that were based on technical skills and problem solving. The first one was a guesstimate round, followed by a thorough case round. The process is structured and to the point. They do consider your CV and extra curricular.

Interview
Un premier entretien physique avec un Partner à propos de mon expérience et de mes motivations. Un test d'anglais et étude de cas par téléphone. Un entretien avec un directeur sur mes motivations et avec étude de cas.
Etant à l'étranger, les recruteurs ont adapté les dates des entretiens avec une grande flexibilité. J'ai apprécié le fait que l'on puisse être coaché par un alumni afin de préparer les entretiens. Les équipes de recrutement propose une grande assistance pour la préparation et la programmation des entretiens. Je regrette l'absence de feedback/suivi suite à une réponse négative.
