Interview
The process took quite long. Submitted my application in April and had my first round of interviews in July. I applied from outside Dubai and all the interviews were conducted via Skype. All the interviewers were really friendly and really tried to get to know me, to see whether I am a good fit for the company.
Interview 1: Manager
Interview 2: Manager
Interview 3: Principal
Interview 4: Partner
Overall, I enjoyed the process. The only downside of the process was its length.

Tell me about yourself and your biggest accomplishment.
Why Consulting?
Why A.T. Kearney?

CV questions on a couple of projects.
Tell me about a time when you had to work in a team and you had to deal with a conflict. How did you handle it?

Case 1: Based on a real project they did a while back in the public sector.
Case 2: Investment Decision: Should company XY invest in a new residential building?
Case 3: Based on a real project they did a while back in the public sector.

Interview
Within 7 days of applying I got invited for an interview. The interview felt formal, but the interviewer was very pleasant. First I got asked about my CV, talk through it and some general behavioral questions - how would you react to this, what would you do, etc. The second part I had to solve a profitability case. If you practiced enough cases, it's pretty simple and straightforward.
I got invited to the second interview. Again the first part was about CV, but this time in more depth. I got asked specific questions about job function and how my tasks were related to the bigger picture. Second part of interview was again a case. Both times within a week I got an answer if I am proceeding to the next stage or no.
