The interview process spanned across 4 interviews of increasing difficulty and complexity. The process was well articulated at the start and the HR team provided frequent, informative updates from start-to-finish. The 1st is your typical phone screen (30 minutes) trying to establish if you have the relevant skills but also for the interviewer to feel out if you're a good fit for the company's culture. The 2nd is either in person or video chat (1 hour) where they dig more into the hard skills and present you with case questions to see how you would respond to business challenges and gives you a chance to showcase your abilities. The 3rd round follows the same format as the 2nd but will be with a member of the leadership team. The 4th round is the case interview, a culminating 3-hour interview where you get the chance to analyze and present to two senior members who are role-playing as members of a prospective client organization. The experience was engaging, rigorous, and, if you can believe it, fun if you enjoy the challenge of problem solving in a changing environment. Expect a lot of curve balls along the way but remember that at the heart of consulting is not just responding to challenges but also facilitating collaboration.
Every consultant and director I met with through the process was extremely personable, easy to talk to, and really embodied the passion for the company that you'll see is a running thread through the reviews and interview assessments that you see all over the web.

Either the interviewers are liars, hypocrites, or both. The company is lost and can't offer competitive market rates.
I crushed all four interviews and case studies. They tried very hard to find something wrong with my answers, but fell short and floundered.
Just like what the other interviewees stated on this site, they will ask if you want feedback and then ghost you.

Exactly as described on their website. Prompt to send scheduling invites and quick follow up after first 2 rounds. Follow up from 3rd round took about 10 days and they declined to bring me in for a case study. The first 3 interviews seemed to go very well, so I was surprised. The “decline” email invited me to reply if I wanted to ask for specific feedback. Since the decline took me by surprise, I really wanted the feedback, so I replied right away and asked for insights on where I fell short. Still no response a month later. That’s disappointing because they invited the request for feedback, and because it seemed like they tried to foster a culture of feedback to drive continuous improvement. The lack of response leaves me with a less favorable impression of the firm than when I started the process.

Interviews were overly structured and largely unpersonal - difficult to connect with anyone on a personal level. The questions were very generic and surprisingly not well aligned to the role applied for. Talking points between interviewers around needs and the role were disconnected and confusing. The work put into the business case turned out to not be a good use of time.
