Are the rubrics used at MBB generic or are they tailored to the case? For example is it a general checklist like "candidate captured and explained ideas in a MECE way during brainstorming" ..or do they have sample answers and grade you based on how many of those answers you captured?

Could someone demystify what these rubrics contain /share them if possible?

Hi there,

The rubrics are standardized. Interviewers are trained in being objective and grading fairly regardless of the case.

They certainly don't have sample answers...remember this isn't a TA helping a professor grade exams...these are trained profesionals who know strategy consulting and the case like the back of their hand...they know what you're doing right and wrong!

I have one of these rubrics (which I use to assess candidates). More than happy to share as part of session. That said, the PrepLounge grading sections are a good initial guide for you!

Both. Recruiting rubrics are standardized, as performance needs to be comparable across cases. But if the interviewers are good and have done their work properly, they have developed a specific rubric for their case that translates the overall assessment rubric the company uses into a performance measurement for their specific case. 

E.g. the overall rubric could say:

  • Candidate breaks down the case into a well-structured approach that is both MECE and practical to execute against
    • Then there are typically descriptions of different performance grades below this

Then a specific rubric developed for the case could say:

  • An oustanding candidate develops a framework that decomposes profitability into the different product types and regions over time and specifically geographical and product mentions mix shift effects in the introduction of the framework
  • A strong candidate applies a profit tree and provides some flavor on the case specific analysis
  • A weak candidate applies a profit tree without any tailoring or another non-fitting framework
