I used to be in your seats a few years ago, willing to enter the strategy consulting world. And when I was a candidate preparing for the interviews, I understood that mastering the ins and outs of any strategy consulting firm is a prerequisite before going into an interview.
However, I was quite disappointed by the lack of information available:
- Low quality of information: The quality of existing firm information on the internet or in the preparation books is often not sufficient, and sometimes even contradictory
- Low firm differentiation: Online information rarely enable us to fully answer the key interview question: « Why choosing our firm? »
- Lack of firm insights: Some key firm insights are not easily found e.g. strengths of each firm, culture, industry expertise, high-level interview process
To that end, I have developed with Bilal, a BCG colleague, a comprehensive list of deep dives covering most strategy consulting firms, that we tested and refined on many candidates to help you capture the essence of each firm.
