Case Presentation
It was a lengthy interview process with many rounds. For the in-person interview, if you don't align with one of the partners, but do with the others, you won't be chosen. It seems like they cared less about you and the skills you bring and more about plugging in numbers for cases.

Behavioral Case Presentation
It was a three-part interview process. First, an HR phone screen where we talked about my background, they told me about WP&C, and I asked questions. They also explained the rest of the interview steps. Then, I had two virtual case interviews over Zoom, each about an hour. About 20 minutes was for introductions, then we spent 30 minutes on a case. The cases involved me leading the discussion sometimes, and them guiding it with questions at other times. Interviewers also saved time for my questions. The final step was an on-site recruiting day to meet firm leadership. I arrived Thursday afternoon and had dinner with managing partners and 3 other candidates. Friday was intense but a great way to see if it was a mutual fit. We had a firm presentation, I gave a short prepared presentation, and then did 4 case interviews with partners. It was a long day but left me feeling really good about the leadership and the firm. The offer process was also impressive; a managing partner called to go over the offer line by line. Overall, the process and people were great.

- Were the case interviews based on real past business problems the interviewer faced or hypothetical ones?
- While case interviews vary in their need for quantitative skills, did they all include some level of quantitative analysis, for example, calculating a new cost per unit under certain conditions or estimating the market size for a product?

Case Presentation Behavioral
So this was the longest interview process I’ve ever been through, but it didn’t feel like too much. It began with a standard phone screen. Then, I had two virtual case interviews. A planned 2:1 virtual interview after the cases was cut. Following the two case interviews, I went to a super day with two other candidates. The night before, we had a nice dinner with senior partners. During the super day itself, there was a two-hour company presentation. Then I did a 15-minute presentation on my work experience, followed by four case interviews. It was a tough day, but they made it stress-free and we also had lunch with some consultants. All in all, it took a while but was a good experience.
