I had to do two tests for this role: numerical reasoning and inductive reasoning, which is diagrammatic reasoning. I remembered for both you are given about 1 minute for each question. Shortly after you have completed the test, they will generate a report to tell you how you have performed compared to other candidates: significant area for improvement, area for improvement, area of competence, area of strength and significant area of strength. But it is a vague indication and even if you have performed above average it doesn't mean that you can proceed to the next stage. I was quickly rejected after the online assessments result come out--I had an above-average performance in one, and an average performance in another.
cv > interview round
Similar to the interview procedure at other consulting firms. However, this firm only has one case interview round with three interviews on one day.
Case interview is the most critical part and requires most practice.
I applied online. I interviewed at Strategy& (Berlin)
Interview
The interview process combined business case studies and personal fit interviews, assessing analytical thinking, structured problem-solving, and communication skills through a standard consulting-style format focused on practical reasoning and interpersonal strengths.
