Hi everyone! I've got an upcoming internship interview with Alvarez & Marsal in Dubai and was wondering if anyone has experience interviewing with them. I've got 4 interviews and they said that it involves case studies. Does anyone know if it's interviewer led or interviewee led? Also, it seems like it's only for half an hour, as per the invite, which is confusing.

Hi, the first round is made by 4 interviews, each of one (about 1 hour) will be structured in 3 parts:
- Personal Experience Interview: fit and CV questions to assess your personal impact, leadership skills, and entrepreneurial spirit
- Case Interview: typical business case to evaluate your structure in approaching problems, problem-solving skills, and business sense
- Your final questions to the interviewers

Feel free to text me for some tips about the preparation. I have supported tens of candidates in securing their offers for A&M.

Hope it helps,
Antonello

Hello,

I have had interviews with A&M and the process was the following:

  • 1st round: 4 case interviews with consultants (standard business case + fit part)
  • 2nd round: 3 Case interview with directors at their Dubai office
  • Practical case: you are asked to get information and data interviewing people in Dubai between 2 case interviews and then to syntesize your results and takeaways in a ppt to be presented

The last point was something particular that was really funny, if you want further details, feel free to text me.

Best,
Luca

Were the 4 interviews in the first round one after the other (on the same day)?

Anonym antwortete am 13. Juni 2020

Dear A,

I have helped multiple candidates to get internships and full-time offers in the companies like Roland Berger, Alix Partners and Alvarez&Marsal or focusing on restructuring. So, in your case, you're excpected to have an interviewer lead case, basically you will receive case before-hand. You need to prepare it and then to present and to discuss the results with the interviewer.

If you need any further information about that, feel free to reach out.

Best,

André

Hi there,

They mostly follow a candidate-led interview model (unless the interviewer has a specific interviewer-led case he/she like to conduct)

No info about the 30mins invite - however, be ready for a case and fit questions.

Best of luck in the process
