London, EnglandPosted Dec 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I interviewed for the Consultant role in an intense, tightly scheduled day of interviews, mixing competency, technical/written, and a partner-led case discussion.

Onsite (fast-paced afternoon) — completed three one-hour interviews back-to-back: a competency interview, a written/technical interview, and a case study interview with the partner.
Support between rounds — I was given a chaperone to help me move between sessions and handle logistics/questions. Outcome: I got an offer about a week after interviewing; the takeaway was that moving quickly between formats (competency, technical, case, partner) was key to performing well.
