If you are currently a final year student in the US, or currently working in the US

Candidates who meets our screening criteria will be invited for Round 1 interview with us in the US.

Round 1
Two one-on-one case-based problem-solving interviews. The case study exercise gives us the chance to discover how you think about problems and arrive at solutions, and gives you a better understanding of the type of work we do. You do not require any prior business knowledge to do well in these cases. However, if you can deal creatively with complex and ambiguous problems in an unfamiliar business, and structure your thinking and reach sensible answers in a short space of time, you're well on your way. Try our online case study to help prepare for a live interview.
