I applied online. I interviewed at Kearney (Johannesburg) in Oct 2022
Interview
HR screening interview followed by case studies. Unfortunately the interviewer arrived 10 minutes late, looked like she was about to fall asleep, was using her phone during the interview and rolled her eyes several times when I gave answers. This threw me off and I gave possibly the worst interview I have ever given in my life.
It was a case interview like most consulting firms. Much more straightforward than MBB but requires you to be thorough and expectation is to talk through your cases very well.

The process is characterised by the following steps: - Online application in the official website - After the online application you are contacted via email for a 5min motivational interview during which you are asked the "drive me through your cv" question - Case studies: the process can have a maximum of 4 case studies, and you can be hired at any time. The difficulty of the cases increases from the first to the last. I was hired at the fisrt round so I can provide 1 question (see below).
