Altman Solon Round 1 Query

Question

What kind of questions can I expect in Altman Solon London Round 1 (3 cases back to back)? Anyone experienced with the process?

Answer 1

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

They follow the same format as other consulting firms
