DubaiPosted Dec 2023 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I went through a more challenging, grilling-style set of interviews with case work that varied in structure and demanded stronger preparation.

Case-heavy rounds after screening — CV screening/qualification was followed by full case interviews; one path included two cases (an M&A-related question and a calculation), and I felt underprepared.
More unusual case formats — in another similar journey, I faced standard plus “out of the box” smaller case structures rather than one single template.
Fit emphasis throughout — both experiences highlighted a strong focus on cultural fit alongside the case work. Outcome: I didn’t move forward; the takeaway was that the process can get tougher quickly when the cases don’t
