Hi there,

First of all, congratulations on the invite!

I think this is an interesting question that may be relevant for many people. I would be happy to share my thoughts on it:

  • First of all, nobody knows for certain except for the recruiter and potentially some of the consultants at ADL Italy. As such, I would highly advise you to reach out to the recruiter and inquire about the specific format of the interviews.
  • Still, based on the experience of coachees of mine with ADL in general, the interviews seem to follow the standard format of having both a case study and a personal fit part. Moreover, I have not heard of any specificities that you would need to prepare for dedicatedly.

If you would like a more detailed discussion on how to address your specific situation, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Best,

Hagen

Hello,

I don't have visibility over the Italian office per se. But ADL's UAE office follows a pretty standarised interviewing process - every interview testing both case and fit questions. Also, I have only heard positive things about their process and work culture - nothing explicitly negative or different from other consulting firms.

I'm sure you already know this, but it might be worth networking with a few consultants on LinkedIn from ADL's Italian office. Maybe you could also ask HR to connect you with 1-2 consultants from your local office who could share some of their experiences with you.

Best,

Rushabh

Hi there,

Regardless as to what you read here and online, please make sure to do the following:

  1. Specifically ask the office/recruiter the format (they should tell you)
  2. Be flexible/adaptable and train for “anything”

Anything means any case type/style and any fit/behavioral question.

Here's some reading ot help you in your prep:

It's probably better if you share the specific office. Usually the smaller the firm, the higher the level of authonomy of each office in the recruitment process.
