Hi there,

from what I know, their format is quite consulting standard, and consequently, same applies to the recommended prep approach.

  • Time: each interview usually 45min  
  • Format:10-15min personal fit, ~30min case; 3rd interview in R1 could be fit only, but not sure if that applies to London office. If not, then likely standard case interview. 
  • Interview style: typically tilts a bit more towards interviewer-led (but not mandated), quite heavy on quant and market sizing
  • Industry focus: mostly TMT of course, given their strong footprint in the space 

That said, do keep an open mind and not fixate too much on a single industry or only select case types - as typical in consulting, anything can come and different interviewers have different styles + priorities.

Hope this helps - do feel free to reach out, if further questions.

Regards, Andi

Hi there,

The short answer is “anything” - please try not predict things and rather just learn how to solve any problem that comes your way!

That said, I have a “random” hunch that you might expect any of the following (direct from their website):
