Technical Case Presentation
The internship interview took place online via Teams. First, candidates had to complete an online test assessing numerical skills. After passing the test, candidates were invited for an interview day. This involved preparing and presenting two presentations on assigned questions. Interviews were conducted by two consultants who assessed personal fit and technical aspects using cases, with a strong focus on pricing.

Case Technical
The interview process was pretty standard. First round was a case interview with a consultant, mainly asking 'Why SK' and then we did the case. Second round involved three back-to-back interviews with partners and MDs, all very technical and focused on healthcare knowledge. They left plenty of time at the end of each interview for my questions.

Behavioral Case Presentation
Had two rounds of interviews. First was an online HR interview, pretty chill, with standard job interview questions like 'Why SK?', 'Why this role?', and 'Why you?'. The second and final round was an in-person case study interview with a panel. About half the time was spent on the case study, and the other half on questions related to the job and behavioral type questions.
