I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Kearney in Jan 2023
Interview
Process took 3 weeks. I applied via LinkedIn. Pleasant people but very poor HR management process, with no feedback provided about interview despite my explicit asking. Also, very little/poor guidance about the interview process provided. Given the calibre of the firm I think engagement with candidates could be better. Again, not giving feedback on interviews is certainly something not reflecting the firm's reputation.
2 rounds of 3 interviews, 1.5-2 hours each heavy technicals some behaviorals. I received a call a few days later after each round if I was passed on/received an offer.

Question 1
Cases were rather standard. Strong focus on fit part, especially "why Kearney".
