I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Roland Berger
Interview
I was invited to interview for the MBA recruiting. The process was organized through the head office in Munich by two coordinators. They were relatively responsive and arrange the interviews. Met with two alumni from my school. Since I was pre-selected the cases tended to be more fit. Spent about 20 minutes on fit and 20 on the case. Was not selected but was given feedback when asked. Overall experience though varied by other students in the process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The business case about an investment decision for three different products. The interviewer was reluctant to give any data. Did not really want to help me with the case.
I interviewed at Roland Berger (São Paulo, São Paulo)
Interview
I have 2-3 case interviews. The interviews were done on real-time with no offline time to prepare. The cases were focused on market sizing, profitability issues and growth strategies. The Crafting Cases channel was very helpful to prepare for those
As expected in the management consulting industry. 4 interviews with relevant people in HR, then the team. They asked some unusual questions to test how you think, like how many ping pong balls fit inside a car.

Interview
3rd Interview with Partner Chantal Jäger: quick intro of candidate (me) and her, then case interview.
Quite bad experience overall with interruptions and cold atmostphere. In general, I had the impression from the start of the case that she does not want me to succeed in this case interview.
