Oliver Wyman interview process - Milan

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:

• Based on the experience of coachees of mine, it is a case study that needs to be solved within a team. Therefore, in addition to all the relevant skills required to solve a case study, I would highly advise you to critically think about the type of work environment Oliver Wyman offers and how you can showcase your fit during the Team Assessment in the best possible way.
• Moreover, I would highly advise you not to overestimate the difference between interviewer-led and interviewee-led case studies, as the only difference is that, after you make a proposal (e.g., for the initial structure or for a solution to a quantitative question), you will give the interviewer time to react to your proposal, which they will either follow or not. I have seen this misconception too often, that you would not need to show case leadership in interviewer-led case studies.

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,

Try not to overcomplicate this! HEre's what you need to do.

1) Check with the recruiter/HR. Specifically ask them what you can expect.

2) Be ready for “anything”. That is, learn how to solve problems in an objective-driven way, no matter the case type, industry, or interview style.
