Hi everyone,
I’ve been invited to the Oliver Wyman Online Assessment for a generalist entry-level position in Germany, and I received the following information from the recruiting team:
Assessment structure
- Competency Assessment:
This section presents different scenarios reflecting day-to-day life at Oliver Wyman. The goal is to assess how well your values align with the firm’s. Answers should be honest and authentic. - Numerical Reasoning Test:
After the competency part, there is a numerical reasoning test assessing your ability to analyze and interpret numerical information using interactive charts and tables. This section is timed and scored, but there is no strict time limit.
Time planning:
- ~20–30 minutes for the competency assessment
- At least ~20 minutes for the numerical reasoning test
I’d appreciate insights from anyone:
- What is the style of the numerical test?
Is it closer to GMAT-style questions, or more like McKinsey Redrock / case-study-like problems with interactive tables and dynamically revealed data? - Roughly how many questions are there, and how much time should one realistically plan?
- How would you recommend preparing for this assessment?
- Is it sufficient doing the Test after McKinsey Solve prep? Or is RedRock too "case-like" and OW's Assessment more like GMAT
Thanks a lot in advance for your help!
