Does anyone know, in addition to McK's PST, which strategy consulting firm use written test as first step in Italy? I would like to know for both MBB and Tier2 (ATK, Roland Berger, Monitor, etc.)
Thanks

Hi Anonymous, I am Italian and have worked at Bain Italy for ~2.5 years.
In terms of written entry tests in strategy consulting companies in Italy see below some more info, based on my knowledge:
- With written tests (for sure):
- Without written tests (for sure):
- Without written tests (I think): All the other ones as Roland Berger, OW, AT Kearney should not have a written test from what I have heard but I am not 100% sure.
Hope this is helpful and happy to help if you need any more tips on consulting in Italy, especially for Bain, where I worked at.

Ciao! I wouldn´t worry too much, since at the end, the skillset tested is the same than in the "usual" cases, hence, all the practice you may have done totally plays in your favor.
Hence, even if the italian companyyou are interviewing for has them, they will let u know in advance, and you will levearge all the work you have done with normal cases
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,
