College: Not Specified

Interview Date: March 2022

Interview Type: Full-Time

Result: Pending (after first round)

Difficulty: Hard (due to unstructured nature and technical issues)

Rounds: 3 rounds scheduled (1 with Engagement Manager, 2 with Partners)

Topics Asked: Due Diligence Report Elements, Market Sizing Case (assets held by an individual for wealth management in the UK).

Experience:

This candidate had their first interview with an Engagement Manager, with two subsequent rounds scheduled with Partners. The first interview, scheduled for 45 minutes, was hampered by internet connection issues for the interviewer, leading to a loss of the first 10 minutes and an audio-only format.

The interviewer, seemingly in a hurry and disinterested, did not allow the candidate to complete their introduction and directly asked about the main elements of a Due Diligence report, which the candidate found confusing and answered vaguely. After asking some questions, the interviewer immediately launched into a market sizing case: "Market size the assets held by an individual which can be invested by wealth management in the UK." The interviewer repeatedly emphasized being in a hurry throughout the case. The candidate felt extremely disappointed by the unstructured and chaotic nature of the interview, noting the absence of typical fit questions like "why consulting" or "why Oliver Wyman."
