I have an Assessment Center in 2 weeks. Hence, I am actively preparing for the case interviews for Bayer Consulting. I am having difficulty in knowing the format of both the presentation case (1h including 15min presentation) and the normal case interview (1h).

- Do they provide the data and the questions all at once? or it goes like a normal case interview?

I have looked at the current answers on PrepLounge, however, its still unclear to me.

Hi,

The interviews are pretty standard:

  1. Fit part
  2. Case (20-25 min)
  3. Your questions to the interviewer

Fit part usually includes the questions like "Why Consulting", "Why Company", Various stories about yourself (Leadership, Teamwork, Achievements - these are not very standardized)

Cases are a bit less demanding than MBB cases. Mostly standard cases like Market sizing, Profitability, Market Entry, Launching a new product, Acquiring a company, etc

Your questions to the interviewer - try to prepare interesting questions in advance

Presentation case

  • They give you a bunch of materials to analyze in 45 min (Articles, e-mails, data tables)
  • You prepare a presentation (flipchart / written slides)
  • You present
  • There will be additional questions after your presentation

Best

Hello there,

The format of the normal case interview is the following:

  • 15 min Fit Interview
  • 30 min Business case
  • 15 min Q&A

In a "presentation case" you usually receive a deck of 20-30 slides all in once, including data and questions. You have to manage your time (in your case probably 45 min, but you should ask HR) for the different steps: Initial reading, problem approach, analysis, slides and final review. At the end of the interview you will be asked to present your slides and solution.

You can find some good examples of written cases online, but I could forward you what I have. Contact me if you are interested.

Best,
Luca

Hi,
since the modalities change with the geography, I recommend to clearly ask HR without worrying about bothering them: they are there to help.

Usually, in presentation cases, you get all the material at the beginning, you then have 45 to 90 minutes to prepare your recommendations + 10-15 minutes to present + 10-20 minutes of Q&A. The case preparation will be the classical one with 2 additional points to focus on:

  • 80-20 prioritization: quickly navigate an important amount of data to find what really matters to the case resolution;
  • Executive summary: develop 1-2 pages to present that sum-up the problem and your recommendations.

I have a couple of well done written cases, feel free to text me for sharing.

Hope it helps,
Antonello

Hello, would you mind sharing how was your interview experience with Bayer In-house consulting? I am also a bit nervous about the presentation case so any tips? Did you also have a "colleagues dialoge" section in your interview? Any feedback is very muuuuch appreciated :)

Hello!

It´s the same as MBB:

  1. FIT
  2. Business case
  3. Q&A for the interviewee

The only particularity would be to inform yourself well about them, for the questions you may be asked in the FIT part.

Hope it helps!

Cheers,

Clara
