Round 2 - Aptitude Test 

Tests are Pymetrics and an online case. Pymetrics is a personality test of sorts (risk aversion, pattern recognition, etc.) this was benchmarked against successful Consultants. Online case is multiple choice but the questions flow like a normal case interview. You will get a final round interview if you do really well on them. If you just ‘pass’, you have to have an internal designation of a high priority or very high priority candidate. (See advice)

Round 3 - Group Discussion 

Standard 2 case interviews with senior leaders, already a lot of material on this elsewhere

Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - I led campus recruiting for 2 top MBA programs. Every interaction before an interview is important. You really want to be on the high priority or very high priority lists. The coffee chats are not just to answer your questions, we make a 25-minute determination of whether you had an impressive background, we’re inquisitive, and passed the airport test. Make sure you bring your energy to all of it. It determines how much support you get and how many interactions you have with senior leaders during the recruiting process to give you advice.
