I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Kearney (Chicago, IL) in Jan 2015
Interview
Round 1 on campus. Round 2 was in Chicago. I just didn't find the work they were doing very interesting. Also, what was really bad was that I was traveling from South and many of my friends were hassled into not coming last night even though the interview was going to last for 4 hours. More so, we had to pay for our hotel and then ask for reimbursement - nowhere have I seen a company be so stingy with interview expenditure.
I applied online. I interviewed at Kearney in Nov 2023
Interview
HR was supportive and provided us with a buddy (a current associate at the firm) whom we could consult regarding the interview process and firm. The actual interview will be held by another senior consultant, mine attended on a phone and seemed rather nonchalant - to be fair it is the candidate's job to impress.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Besides the case, they will also ask basic questions like an achievement/ challenge you overcame.
It was fine, a typical case interview which last for 30 minutes - on market sizing. there are also some competency based questions which last for 15 minutes. The overall process is quite fast and enjoyable.
