4 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: HR Interview
Experience: 3 interviews, Went extremely well, better than McK as far as I was concerned. Resume questions, very curious about my technical projects.Why consulting? Future plans? Case. I am the director of a firm and am giving out an award for Best Salesman of the Year. How will I choose?
Round: Behavioural Interview
Experience: Something about yourself. We talked a lot about my background, family, etc. Case – don't remember, was simple. After 2 interviews they called me back and told me they were very interested and that I should hang around.
Round: Other Interview
Experience: Case – Asked for three independent solutions : I am a large firm and I am trying to decide whether or not to buy a smaller one (some details on the technology patented by the smaller firm were given). I laid out the bones for three evaluation strategies. He stopped me from going into details and encouraged me to ask questions about the firm. Finally I was asked - before we make you an offer, where do your priorities stand : McKinsey or BCG? Since I had given a written choice and preferred Mck, I did not lie. I tried to give a diplomatic answer but ended up being frank in the end. It was a risk.
General Tips: As per the limited feedback I have received, no particular mistake. I personally felt that i should have responded slower and surer to avoid the numerical mistakes in my third McK interview. Also, should have written more during case studies. One specific point – While solving case studies, make sure you listen carefully to the question. Do not present a recommendation unless asked for one. You might just be asked to list out the issues and not the solution. If you make a mistake here, it reflects extremely badly on your personality in general. Also, do not interrupt the interviewer. Ever. Don't shop alone or at the last minute. I don't think too many girls make this mistake, but guys!! Take help. Look the smartest and the best you can to build confidence.

7 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: The rule of thumb I used while writing and formatting my resume is that the most important things should be clear at a cursory glance. Your resume must be extremely well organized and should read like a “story”. (The definition of most important here is “what the company is looking for”, not what you feel is important. I read a couple of resumes (those of people who had been recruited by the companies I was sitting for) and then made my own. It improved a lot due to the feedback I gained from iitian and non-iitian friends & family. It is advisable to make your resume early for this very purpose. I talked to many people and asked them why they had chosen to work for their particular firm and whether it was living up to their expectations. I also found about what future options each firm/job provides.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: 2 levels with 2 interviews each. Out of the 28 people short-listed for level 1, 8 made it to level 2. Final offers were made to 3.I had 4 interviews. Each one was supposed to be 30 minutes long only, but usually went on for longer. When my turn came to ask a question, I asked the same one to everyone – Whatn has been your highest moment and your lowest moment in Consulting? It was very interesting to note the variety and the personal nature of the answers I got.The quintessential something-about-yourself. I had a story planned but I didn't want to start off with it. So I just talked about some of my recent work in the department and my future plans. He commented on the technical strength of my resume, noticed the initiatives I had taken and asked why I hadn't been a part of Mood Indigo. He asked me a lot of questions about its structure to check my general awareness. (And maybe to see if I get flustered when asked questions I am not prepared for) He asked me whether I knew what EBIDTA was (he worked with fin co.s mainly). I talked about EBIDTA for a couple of minutes
Round: Case Study Interview
Experience: The Case. It was based on a IT firm. He commented that being an iitian, I must be well aware of issues in the IT sector. The case itself was on profit maximization. The key issue was that of difference in labor costs (offsite and onsite) and how the IT sector uses this difference to make supernormal profits. Case was done in a hurry (we ran out of time) but completed well. Session II (Extremely friendly interviewer, ate Pizza while asking Case) The two most fulfilling moments in my life as a leader The two most memorable moments in my life of personal success Note: Justification is important. For the first, its advisable to choose something which reflects your qualities as a leader, and the trust that people put in you. The achievement itself need not be big. For the second, bigger the better :) A company manufactures tankers and wants to go global. What are the issues confronting them? This interview went extremely well for me.
Round: Behavioural Interview
Experience: Session III Talked about some of my resume points. He commented on being impressed with some aspects (including fluency in English) . One event which you consider your life's biggest success
Round: Guesstimate Interview
Experience: The number of cricket balls in Mumbai. I made some calculation errors but incorporated very good structure. Ended up doing integration also. (To include continuously changing rate of population) Ended very well.
Round: Other Interview
Experience: This was with an extremely senior guy, reputed (in McKinsey) to be a ball-buster. He looked at my file (including all the interviewer comments from my previous 3 interviews) and said that he would not be asking me any case studies. This was either VERY good news or very bad! We talked about every HR aspect in the world. It was a long interview. He encouraged me to ask a lot of questions and finally talked about the kind of projects he is proud of and why. Why consulting? Your resume reads technocrat. (He was a PhD in Chem. from Stanford) What's your dream? What happens 10 years from now? 20 years from now? What do you think about academics in IITB. What has been your best performance and why? What kind of companies do you want to work with? Why?
General Tips: I. Cases – Focus on your presentation. The most important things are:
a) Ask the right questions (and lots of them). LISTEN to the interviewer
b) Ensure that they know WHY you are asking each question as soon as you do.
c) Build a mental tree of possibilities and take time off to think wherever necessary
d) Practice your style of summary and conclusion – this can make or break the case.
II. HR questions – Not even one single answer should be immature or unnecessarily cliched. This is your chance to be poised and eloquent.

5 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Test
Experience: Capital One conducts a DI/DS type quiz which contains questions ranging from compound interest to inflation, before announcing a final shortlist of 200
Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: After that there is an online psychometric analysis plus resume based short listing which leaves around 50 candidates for the interview.
Round: Case Study Interview
Experience: ROUND1:
CASE STUDY: The first study lasted for as long as 20 min. My case was that of dominos evaluating a new scheme wherein they would offer a discount of 30% instead of 100%, in case wherein pizza could not be delivered within 30 min. I was asked how this would change the revenue and the profit. They stressed on the reasoning that I gave in the first half of the study and the calculations in the second half.
Round: Case Study Interview
Experience: ROUND 2:
CASE STUDY: The second was harder and very extensive. It was a customer acquisition scenario in which a credit card company has to choose from amongst three strategies. They gave me a set of data such as cost of sending out fliers, lending rate, default rate, average spending per customer, annual percentage return etc. and I had to evaluate all the three strategies in term of long term and short term profit and then choose one of them.
Tips: The thing to be kept in mind with the cap one studies is that there is no end point for any study and they will keep asking questions after questions as long as there is time. Hence those who answer correctly and quickly will get to solve more of the case. This is were knowing the jargon really matters, because otherwise a lot of time will be lost trying to understand what each term actually means.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: The first question for me was to describe an experience wherein I proposed a creative idea in front of a team and then how I went about convincing people about that idea. Next I was asked to describe a crisis situation which I faced and also my response to it.
The reason for success in this round for me was choosing the right incidents and then reporting them exactly.
Tips: 1.Rehearse with friends for all expected questions such as Tell us about yourself? Why this job? Why this company?
2.Do not cook the script and mug the answers.
General Tips: 1.PPTs:
The best way to start is by getting to know all the jobs that are out such as consulting, analytics, tech, banking and financial services etc. and then deciding about the nature of job that suits you the most.
2.RESUME:
Going through the resume of your seniors is a good way to start. Try to convey variety, team work and leadership and try not to overdo it!
3.CASE STUDIES:
Apart from the routine case studies which the consultancies ask, you might also need to prepare the ones that some of the financial firms love.

4 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: Collected all my certificates I received in school and IIT. Went through the resumes of my seniors with similar credentials to check how people have presented their positives. Went through a guide saying Do's and Don ts of a Resume. Consulted my seniors and incorporated their valuable points. I attended PPTs. They are very useful as they tell us about the company, the job profile and other useful information required. All the doubts about the company or the profile can be cleared at this time. I did talk to the employees of the company (mostly last years) to get better info about the company and the job.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: Test and then 2 rounds of interview. For the first round of interview around 60-70 people were shortlisted, for second round 25(approx.) and finally 14 offers were made. It was a general HR interview. The interview started with an informal introduction about the people in the panel. Actually the interview was for 2 profiles 1. Technical 2. Associate Analyst. In this first interview they wanted to know the profile for which the candidate was more suitable. In the panel there were two people, one from Tech. and other from non-Tech. I don't remember much but they surely did ask about my perspective about technology and which profile I want to enter and why? They asked me a guesstimate and it is important that you use paper while solving such a problem. I think the best part about the interview was I was myself and they liked they I was. In fact after the interview I was sure that they'll call me for the next round.
Tips: I think you should be good in case study problems and he should really be interested in consulting. You might not be the best but if you can show how passionate you are about your work, it is enough. I think if you really feel of joining a profession in consulting then you should go for it.
Round: Case Study Interview
Experience: In my final round, he asked me to run through my resume and life in IIT. There I had to perform a small drama for him. Then there was a case study problem where he was looking for my approach and I guess he liked it, that's why I got recruited.
General Tips: Most important thing I realized in my first interview is that when you are going for an interview you are going to be recruited and if that is true then you need to be sure if you want to enter the company. I mean prepare well, this includes:The general questions which are asked in any HR interview. Prepare every minor thing about resume. Think about the doubts you have about the company or the job and clear them when the interviewer gives you the chance. Be yourself in the whole process and just have confidence nobody can stop you.

I mean prepare well, this includes:The general questions which are asked in any HR interview. Prepare every minor thing about resume. Think about the doubts you have about the company or the job and clear them when the interviewer gives you the chance. Be yourself in the whole process and just have confidence nobody can stop you.
