Hi,
Below criteria selection for fit and case interviews and ATKearney's Paris office
1. Fit interview
2. Case interview
hope it helps. Don't hesitate to reach me directly I worked in Paris office.
Dear A,
They will be asking the following:
Tell me about yourself (Walk me through your resume)
Why consulting?
Why McKinsey, BCG, BAIN etc?
The story about leadership (How you've taken an initiative and led the people
to achieve something)
The story about Personal Impact (How you persuaded people)
Entrepreneurial Drive (Innovative solutions that you are proud of most)
Your questions to the interviewer
And case for case interview will be proven you six big parts to being able to master the case: structuring, math, exhibit analysis, synthesis, communication and business sense. And my recommendation would be to focus on all of these things individually before trying to dive straight into solving complete cases.
Good luck!
Best,
André
There are few set of questions, which you might be asked:
CV questions. Walk me through your resume OR tell me about yourself
Why did you choose your university?
Why did you choose your faculty?
How you showed your social activity and why this exactly?
Why do you have these hobby?
2. Motivational questions are designed to understand your internal drivers to be a consultant
Why consulting?
Why this region?
Why X firm?
3. Behavioral questions
In McKinsey interviews it's called PEI and structured into 3 parts. So being prepared for this kind of questions, you can crack similar questions in any other company:
The Entrepreneurial Drive / Drive and Achieving Question
The Personal Impact / Persuasion / Conflict Resolution Question
The Leadership / Teamwork Question
If you want to know, how to create your best stories on for that questions, I'm happy to help you.

Hi Benjamin, are there any differences for offices in the DACH region? Respectively is there any kind of special areas these offices focus on. Thank you very much in advance and kindest regards.

Hi Moritz, I don't know specifically the recruitment process of each country. But in general, there are corporate guidelines provided by central administration to maintain the standard of expectation accross the different offices. For the specific case of DACH region this should be very similar to France and the above recommandation apply the same. Best
