The process was really smooth. We joined a Zoom meeting with other candidates and were then sent to breakout rooms. In these rooms, it was a one-on-one with a consultant, usually at the associate level. The interviewers were helpful even though we had to lead the conversation.

Behavioral

It was a very short interview, about ten minutes long, and mostly behavioral questions. If I had passed, I would've gotten the chance to apply for a Summer Internship at LEK. About two weeks after I was asked around 3 questions about how I've acted in different situations, I got the update that I wasn't selected.

  • Tell me about a time you dealt with a challenging situation at work.
