I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Altman Solon (Munich, Bavaria) in Sep 2024
Interview
1. Runde HR & Motivation, dann 3 Case-Gespräche und 1 Lunch, bei positiver erster Runde 2 weitere (& letzte Gespräche).
Ich war nur bei Runde 1 und den 3 Gesprächen + Lunch.
Quant-heavy Cases und generell schwierige Cases. Gespräche dennoch super nett & gutes Feedback. Kosten für pot. Reise und Lunch werden üvbernommen.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Bspw. Data Center inkl. Stromkapazität, Nutzen, Preis, etc. (viel Maths).
First round aptitude test. Covered math topics and was all speed and accuracy based. Also had a situation-analysis that asked you questions about your personality. Did not pass the first round.
I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Altman Solon
Interview
Abysmally slow process. Month 1: Applied online. Month 2: Got a response from HR. Month 3: The call with HR happens. Month 4: The actual round 1 interviews happen Interviews were 3 x 1 hour interviews consisting of: 20 mins behavioural/motivation, 35 mins of case and 5 mins of Q & A. Behavioural portion was fairly laid back and felt like a coffee chat. Case portion was fairly normal and tailored to the type of work Altman Solon does (market sizing, due diligence, and strategy…specific to fibre optic networks). Did not get exhibits like MBB but expect calculations. All my Interviewers seemed ill-prepared and ill-trained to conduct interviews. Got asked silly questions like “we do X, Y, Z type of work. Does this interest you?” or “consulting work is like this, does this interest you?”. well I am obviously not going to say “no”. Did not make it to second round and got NO post-interview feedback whatsoever which was a bit shocking and is NOT the standard for consulting firms.
