Hi!

Roland Berger interviews are far less standardized and structured then MBB. Especially in the Middle East, RB is very often "improvising" along the process. So for a partner interview, you can essentially expect anything! So just prepare similarly to the previous round, and be ready for a case, but also for a general discussion on current regional/global challenges. Fit will definitely be a substantial part of the interview.

Cheers, Sidi

Hi, my friend just had their final round RB Middle East interview for an internship. Feel free to get in touch with me and I would be happy to share insights

Hi there,

Normally the final round interviews are similar to the ones of the first round in format (fit, case and Q&As). There might be a bigger emphasis on the fit part, so make sure that your stories are super sharp & concise.

All the best,

Mehdi

Hi,

I have also some other candidates who are in the same batch as you applying for Roland Berger ME.

From their experience, the partner interview is always a little bit different than in the previous rounds. It could be pretty unstructured and normally includes a lot about the personal fit as well as testing your individual behavior in different stress situations including a role game.

• Alternatively, it can also include some cases, particularly more market-sizing ones with difficult questions.
• Covid-related questions could be also included.

My general recommendation for you would be to gather as much information as possible about this partner to prepare your customized questions for the interview. Practice different interview styles with high pressure to become more emotionally resilient.

Do you need any further help or specific advice for RB Dubai or other ME offices? Drop me a line

Hi,

I hope you had a good experience with the partner interview!

Would love to get your insights about what to expect. Will help me in preparation!

Let me know. Thanks

In general, you should expect and prepare for the same things you've already been preparing...that is...anything!

Of course, you should be ready for it to be potentially a little more intense, or to dive more into business concepts or be more unstructured, but it's all generally the same!

Additionally, if you received specific feedback on weaknesses, make sure to address/fix these!

Other than that, keep doing what you're doing it's you've passed the earlier rounds as it's obviously working!
