I applied online. I interviewed at Kearney in Jul 2017
Interview
The process took quite long. Submitted my application in April and had my first round of interviews in July. I applied from outside Dubai and all the interviews were conducted via Skype. All the interviewers were really friendly and really tried to get to know me, to see whether I am a good fit for the company.
Interview 1: Manager
Interview 2: Manager
Interview 3: Principal
Interview 4: Partner
Overall, I enjoyed the process. The only downside of the process was its length.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Fit:
Tell me about yourself and your biggest accomplishment.
Why Consulting?
Why A.T. Kearney?
Why Dubai?
CV questions on a couple of projects.
Tell me about a time when you had to work in a team and you had to deal with a conflict. How did you handle it?
Tell me about a time you had to come up with a creative solution in order to solve a difficult problem.
Tell me about your best and worst client/external stakeholder relationship.
Cases are more hybrid than pure candidate-led:
Case 1: Based on a real project they did a while back in the public sector.
Case 2: Investment Decision: Should company XY invest in a new residential building?
Case 3: Based on a real project they did a while back in the public sector.
