Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Case Study Interview
Experience: Case Details:
I understood the business model quickly. I drew the process on a sheet of paper and got the buy in. The main issue with the business model in this case was data quality. I did not understand the significance of the word “PSU” in the Insurance company context and relate it to bad data quality. I got there, but I think it took a little bit more time than expected.




Tips: Listen keenly to every word that is said. It is said for a reason.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: Qualified for next round that was Partner round. Both these rounds were PI questions and I was ultimately given the offer.

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Case Study Interview
Experience: Case Details:
Basically, I had applied to the supply chain position and had done demand planning at my previous job. This case was more of discussion. We identified several planning processes in the company (inventory planning, transportation planning, facility planning) and discussed how each of them would be affected. We talked about the differences in sales and marketing forecasts. We talked about promotions and cannibalization. We then shifted our discussion to how marketing in U.S. uses AC Nielsen. Then we discussed the process metrics like no. of stock outs. I started talking about costs but then he said that would be financial impact. I couldn’t come up with many metrics. For the financial part, I wrote the formula for free cash flow and then discussed how each component will be affected.
I had a good connect throughout with the interviewer which helped me throughout the interview. I honestly told him which my top target companies were, also gave him the reasons. He seemed very convinced.
This case was based on the work I had done before. I was not very thoroughly prepared. I took time to understand what he wanted from the case. We had this interview on the AC lawns, where he gave me the case and went on a walk. I called him after 2 minutes and then started discussing in detail.

Tips: Be thorough with what work you have done before Know why consulting and in case you have several shortlists, be prepared to answer what your target companies are and why?

Round: Telephonic interview
Experience: This was a PI round with similar questions-Tell me about yourself?; Talk about your previous work experience?; What skills you bring?


Round: HR Interview
Experience: This was an exhaustive PI round and I was well prepared for standard questions. It lasted for about 45 minutes and another person was noting down something (don’t know what).
