I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Kearney (São Paulo, ) in Apr 2021
Interview
100% online, eficiente e transparente. Fases seguem:
- GMAT: poucas questões, com bastante tempo por questão. Requer atenção aos detalhes e resolução completa, sem atalhos.
- Dinâmica online: transposição da dinâmica presencial, particularmente onde mais existem pontos a melhorar, visto que online a comunicação simultânea entre grupos é bem dificultada. Sugestão: trocar por um business case com dias de resolução, ou usar grupos menores.
- 1st round: uma entrevista com associate, business case e fit típicos de consultoria, requer estudo.
- Final round: uma entrevista com principal, com case pequeno e grande foco em fit. Não subestime a importância de conhecer a empresa e ver se é pra você, isso será testado a fundo aqui.
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Kearney (Ciudad de Mexico) in Sep 2025
Interview
Primer paso es el examen de quant (tipo gmat) muy complicado. Si tienes un buen desempeño pasas a la siguiente ronda donde son 2 casos de estudio (associates/consultants) y si pasas a la siguiente ronda, son otros 2 casos de estudio pero ahora la entrevista es con los managers.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Business cases en la primer ronda (en su mayoria son de market sizing)
That was the weirdest interview process known to man, they call me up first
and give me a mini case, was a weird one too similar to the classic how many ping pong balls can fit an airplane. That was a pre-round.
First round was with someone whom I think never did a case interview, he gave me a whole case with 3 different questions upfront, each of these questions required me to do a mini framework for each, at that point tbh we both didn’t know what we were doing. Lol.
But the hr is something for sure! My first round was literally in the midst of ramadans Maghreb athan , naturally I wondered if I was still considered for a second round, no response was given but people were being hired for an intern role as seen by LinkedIn.
I’m assuming what happened is they overestimated their need for interns for the rowaad program and then just decided to ghost candidates as that seems to be in par with my friends experiences.
