Hi all,

Does anyone know whether L.E.K (London) first round interviews are candidate or interviewer led?

Many thanks in advance!

Hi, 

LEK is candidate led. ALL companies have candidate-led interviews. Even at McKinsey 2nd round interviews will be mostly candidate led. In addition, there is no difference between those types of cases and it's always better to prepare in a candidate type format (since iterviewer-led is just a bit easier)

No no be careful here!

LEK is generally candidate-led.

However, regardless, you should always default to candidate-led. You'll know if it's ever interviewer-led (they will drive the case and ask you to do specific things).

However, no matter what, assume it is candidate-led AND even in an interviewer-led case, you need to be really clear where you are going and why.

Hi there!
The interviewer always led. However, you need to clarify information, ask questions so you can better solve the task, or give appropriate details.

Interviewer led but you need to ask for some data ooints at times. I thought the first round interviews ended on 20 nov?

Hi, there is a prevalence of candidate led but focus on doing cases well and not on the type
