I applied through university. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Strategy& (Chicago, IL) in Oct 2016
Interview
I applied through my university and got a first round interview which consisted of two 45 min interviews that were back to back. They both contained a short behavior interview that was quite informal and felt more like getting to know each other, followed by a straight forward case. I got along well with both of my interviewers quite well.

I applied online. I interviewed at Strategy& (New York, NY) in Sep 2024
Interview
The interview was pretty standard in terms of case and behaviorals. Cases were about technology and data to analyze because that is what the position was. Interviewers were friendly, and process was not too long—I believe just 1-2 rounds. Declined offer for another firm, but interviewers reached out after to chat about the opportunity and were pretty transparent about what PWC/Strategy& had to offer in comparison.
