Los Angeles, CAPosted Oct 2022 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I went through a short, analyst-led process with mostly straightforward, interviewer-guided case work and light behavioral questions over two back-to-back interviews.

Round 1 (back-to-back interviews) — Two 30-minute interviews with brief openings and mostly simple case-style discussions (often framed around damages/litigation); limited behavioral beyond one question or a quick start.
Round 2 (not reached) — I didn’t move forward to a second round, but the case format felt closer to their economic work than typical management consulting. Outcome: I didn’t advance, and the takeaway was that the firm’s style is very case-first and interviewer-led, with minimal behavioral pressure in early rounds.
