Has anyone already completed the second interview at Horvath and can give me insight into the process or would like to share the content of their cases? I am grateful for any tips. It's about a position as a consultant in the area of consumer goods.

Interview at Horvath

Hi there,
First of all, congratulations on the progress in the application process with Horváth & Partners thus far!
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, I would highly advise you to reach out to the recruiter or current consulting staff directly to inquire about the details of the next interview (round) with Horváth & Partners.
- Moreover, if they will conduct a regular case interview, your preparation should most probably not differ from that with any other consulting company you would apply to.
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

Hi there!
Just had a candidate get an offer with Horvath last week. They had a rather strange recruitment process in that geography because they only went through fit questions, not case.
Regardless of that, unless told specifically by HR, my recommendation would be to prep across case types, not only for one specific type. You can't know what will actually show up during the interview.
Best,
Cristian

Hi there,
I actually don't know much about Horvath, but, if they do a case interview then your prep should be not majorly different from any other case prep.
