Oliver Wyman Internship Interview

Hi there,

Some of my friends went through the Oliver Wyman internship interview process in the DACH region;
    1.    Number of Rounds – Typically, there are two rounds, each consisting of one or two interviews. The first round usually includes a mix of behavioral and case interviews, while the final round may involve more senior interviewers and a greater emphasis on fit.
    2.    Behavioral Questions – Expect classic fit questions like “Why Oliver Wyman?” and “Why consulting?” along with experience-based questions (e.g., “Tell me about a time you worked in a team under pressure”). They’re looking for structured answers with clear impact, so using frameworks like STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result) can help.
    3.    Key Tips
    •    Case interviews are candidate-led, so practice structuring your approach and driving the discussion.
    •    Mental math and market sizing often come up, so being quick with numbers is a plus.
    •    Oliver Wyman values personality and communication, so be engaging and show enthusiasm.

If you have any specific questions or need help prepping, happy to help!

Best,

Hi there,

First of all, congratulations on the invitation from Oliver Wyman!

I would be happy to share my thoughts on your questions:

• First of all, Oliver Wyman’s internship interview process typically consists of one round with 2-3 interviews. If you want to know for your specific situation, I would highly advise you to ask the recruiter, although they should tell you either way.
• Moreover, behavioral questions are rather standard, with a mix of general and behavioral personal fit questions.

If you would like a more detailed discussion on how to best prepare for your upcoming Oliver Wyman interviews, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Best,

Hi,

1) 2-3 interviews, covering behavioral questions and cases

2) Like a typical MBB interview (e.g., present yourself, why OW/this office, leadership, failure example...)

3) Prepare like for a MBB interview (behavioral and cases).

Feel free to reach out if you would like to have more tips;

Had a coachee for OW (but North America). 

Style of fit interview questions were the same as MBB - i.e based on past experiences and not based on hypotheticals.

Key tips - no different from general consulting case interview prep which you can find a ton of answers already on previous threads

Hi there,

1. There is usually one test and one interview round with 2-3 interviews. All interviews cover case and fit

2. Fairly standard - questions about your resume/background, motiviation, experiences, relevant skills (e.g., leadership)

3. Nothing different than most other consulting firms.

All the best,

Florian

Hey there ?, Oliver Wyman internship interviews in the DACH region usually consist of two to three rounds, starting with a screening call or online assessment, followed by one or two rounds that blend case and behavioral questions. The behavioral part tends to focus on your experiences with teamwork, leadership, and problem-solving, so having a few STAR stories ready can be really helpful, and even though the cases might be a bit lighter than full-time interviews, it's important to be structured and genuine. Just relax, be yourself, and let your enthusiasm shine through—I'm sure you'll do great! Best, Alessa ?

Hey there, 

There are typically 2-3 rounds with interviews with Engagement Managers to Partners (and can be Associates depending on the level you'd be coming in as)

Behavioral questions will range from impact questions, to resilience, conflict resolution, stress management, experience and background fit assessment, and also with Oliver Wyman - values and culture fit is important

Regarding tips, make sure you are well practiced! Ensure you know how to think about answering a wide range of case questions from first principles and can do well across the various case interview elements. 

All the best
