Hi Ree,

I had an interview with AlixPartners Dubai Office. However, I decided not to join the company, because I did not like the culture, their topics (mainly restructuring, turnarounds and financial) and their offered package (roughly 20k less than benchmark).

In order to prepare yourself in the best way, search for restructuring and financial cases. You shall need the understanding of how companies opperate and how to improve their performance, operations and processes. These type of cases could be easily found here at preplounge or online. Alternatively, you may also contact me directly if you like and I can tell you more about my interviews with them and help you with a preparation.

Hope this gives you more guidance.

Cheers,

André

McKinsey Digital / BCG Platinion: Oil & Gas Upstream Technology

300+ mal gelöst
McKinsey Digital / BCG Platinion: Oil & Gas Upstream Technology [PLEASE NOTE: This is a technically difficult case and should only be completed by those coming in as a Technology specialist, i.e. recruiting for McKinsey Digital, BCG Platinion, etc.] Our client is a multinational oil and gas company. While they are vertically integrated and have upstream, midstream, and downstream divisions, they have recently been experiencing competitivity issues in the upstream gas division, which brings in $1B in profits annually. Our client’s upstream division has offices in Australia and Indonesia. Their work is highly dependent on their IT systems, as they have to constantly monitor wells and pipes (pressure, hydrocarbon count, fluid makeup, etc.) The upstream division has two large legacy IT systems that are primarily used for downstream operations but have been modified for upstream purposes. These systems are managed by a central team in the US which is responsible for all IT issues across the business. They triage issues/enhancements and then manage development teams in India and Finland who complete the work.
