Hi,

Why "Company" question can include the following arguments:

  • The general marketing story the company is trying to sell (e.g. Bain is a small "Family" company)
  • Brand / positioning / market share in the region
  • More clients / projects / expertise in the industry you are interested in
  • More well-known stories of success in your city
  • Your friends working there
  • Your interactions with the other consultants before the interview
  • Your prior experience of working with the Firm on a client side
  • Office traditions
  • Work experience with firm alumni
  • etc 

Best!

Ex-MBB, Experienced Hire; I will teach you not only the how, but also the why of case interviews

We've had 3 nearly identical questions on this topic in the last few days... someone is trying to get us to do his/her research. I find this a little rude and annoying. Have you at least read some of the terrific answers given to you?
