So the interview process involved an HR screen first, then a partner intro. After that, there were two online cases with an Associate Partner. The final round would have been back-to-back cases with a presentation in front of multiple senior management, all done in person for a full day.

Case Presentation
After two online rounds that went well, I was invited to a full-day interview at the Zürich office with back-to-back cases from 9 am to 3 pm. I found the experience quite overwhelming. For each case, I had 2 to 4 attendants (partners and consultants). The materials were not fully complete, and we didn't have time to first read then ask questions for more details. After a long, full day of cases, I was given 15 minutes to prepare a presentation about my passion for the whole office. Aside from the demanding interviews, the team was really welcoming and kind.
Confirmed questions2 questions
- Why did you choose consulting?
- Why life sciences consulting?
