Hi there,

Unless you are applying to a specific practice/specialization, you should expect much the same types of cases as BCG and Bain (candidate-led).

Make sure you practice a wide range of cases and stay adaptable/agile.

Last point: Make sure you're very familiarized in the functions + industries of the office to which you're applying. There is a higher likelihood of cases being in the topics/areas of your office country/region.

Hi there,

Complementary to what other coaches said, I would like to add the following aspects:

• The overall recruiting process at S& is very similar to the ones of MBB and other Tier 2 consulting companies. Thus, unless you are applying to a specific practice, I would advise you to cover all industries and functions indicated in you preparation (see https://www.strategyand.pwc.com/gx/en).
• The sole differentiation required might be that certain regions, locations or offices have an industry and/ or functional focus (most times driven by the dominating local industries).

In case you want a more detailed discussion on how to best prepare for the upcoming S& interviews, please feel free to contact me directly. I have helped several of my coachees land a position at Strategy& and thus know very well the process across regions.

I hope this helps,

Hagen

Hi!

There are no significant differences in terms of specific cases to prepare. The usual typologies will be good enough (i.e. market sizing, profitability, etc.).

Hope this helps.

Hello,

Ian said it best - I would see if the office you are interviewing for specializes in any particular industries, and just prepare a wide variety of cases otherwise.

Hello there! 

Hi,
I have gone through the Strategy& interview process and am aware of the main industries of focus for the EMEA offices, feel free to DM in case you want to share more details on your process.
This level of knowledge may probably not be a difference maker in the case interview as their approach is similar to MBB's but it could be valuable when they will test your motivation to apply for that specific location.

Best,
