Behavioral Case Presentation
The interviewers were super nice and genuinely interested, making it easy to connect with them, which was different from my experience at MBB. It's a classic consulting interview with personal fit and case study components. The whole process, including all three rounds, is conducted remotely and completed in a single day. This even includes receiving a job offer on the same day. One of the interviews is conducted in English.

Behavioral Case Presentation
So the final interview stage for this internship is mainly made up of two parts. First, we'll chat about why you're interested in ESG and our firm. Then, we'll move on to a quick case study. It's about a clothing manufacturing company, but it's not a super formal case, more like a discussion to see how you think.

Case Behavioral
The process was kind of a mess. The HR person was condescending and basically said she didn't want to waste her time with me. I get that HR might not like their job, but that's not professional, especially at a firm where EQ matters. HR initially said all 4 interviews would be on the same day, but then only scheduled one. When I followed up, she finally admitted there was only going to be one interview. Her communication was really bad and she didn't tell me about the change upfront. The interviewer, though, was great – professional, friendly, and respectful.
