Behavioral Case

The interview process starts with a behavioural interview, followed by a case interview. The case interview is the most challenging part, where you'll be presented with a scenario and expected to solve it as if you were a consultant at Oliver Wyman. Typically, it's an interviewee-led format, requiring you to ask the interviewer questions to arrive at a solution.

Case

It was a good, fast, and challenging interview process. I only succeeded until round 1 of interviews. The case study was difficult and required a certain level of business understanding across many sectors like finance, banking, retail, etc. I definitely need to practice before the interview.
