Hi there, concerning ZS Associates in Germany:

I had 2 appointments. First one about motivation, CV etc. all in English and, in addition, a brief case study. Relatively easy to handle.

Second appointment included three conversations. First one based on a case. Second one based on a bunch of Brainteasers and, eventually, a last case study.

All in all, quite intense.
