Anyone applied to the Entry-level Consultant position (for European graduates) at Oliver Wyman Middle East? The dealine was almost a month ago and there's been no follow-up. Have you had any outcome, for those who applied?

For those who have experience with Oliver Wyman, how many weeks usually they will send invitation/rejection emails?

Hi Anonymous,

usually it takes around 2 weeks until OW gets back to you, so over a month is indeed a little long. However, it should not be a problem to send a friendly email and ask for an update á la "I just wanted to make sure you don't need anything else from me in order to proceed with my application".

Hello there!

Check with HR, since that is a fair amount of time already.

Best of luck!

Cheers,

Hi there,

Generally, you should have received a response by now. However, I've seen plenty of exceptions to this rule.

I recommend that you reach out to HR to get a status update.

Hi, it usually requires up to 3-4 weeks. However, I recommend texting/calling HR without worrying about bothering them: they are there to help

Best,
