Roland Berger US Interview

Hi there,

for RB US, you can expect the following format:

• First round: one case interview (ca. 45 minutes)
   
• Second round: 3 interviews (personal fit, business knowledge, written case with subsequent presentation to 2 interviewers) 

Find below a few practice cases that are representative of the Roland Berger style of the recent years across various interview rounds:

Hello!

Can you specify which role and seniority, so we can help you better?

Written case interviews are indeed becoming very fashionable nowadays as a way to interview!

Remember that the skillset tested is the same than in the "usual" cases, hence, all the practice you may have done totally plays in your favor. 

One important point to add is the need to be very 80-20, structured and to the point, since the prep time is very short, so we need discipline with the analysis to have enaugh time to prep the communication strategy. 

There are many many entries in thsi same Q&A regarding written cases, hence, I would recommend you to look with the keywords "written case"

Hope it helps!

Cheers, 

Clara

Hi there,

I know it's a “cheap” answer, but I'm being genuine when I say prepare yourself for “anything”. That means:

1. Behavioral/Fit
2. Written Case
3. Live Case ("classic" and unconventional)
4. Market Sizing

Here is some reading for casing: https://www.preplounge.com/en/articles/how-to-shift-your-mindset-to-ace-the-case

And some reading for fit: https://www.preplounge.com/en/articles/tell-me-about-yourself-interview-question

Hi there,

If it's anything like non-US RB offices you might expect the following for 1st round (all interviews with consultants of different seniority):

• 2x case interviews (60min each) 
• 1x fit interview (60min) 

However, don't take my word for it because I don't have US-specific knowledge!

As others suggest, best to be prepared for anything!

Best of luck!

Hi there, 

could you please share more context on which role, office. Will be able to provide specific advice, once you do.

Cheers, Andi
