Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Case Study Interview
Experience: After listening to the question I immediately analysed by asking myself some questions.
a) What can be the internal issues due to which trucks stay in the premises overtime? This could be broken down into - No preparation by the warehouse - No space in the warehouse- Shortage of tools and materials to unload Point no. 1 can be broken down into why there is no preparation by the warehouse personnel. One can analyse that there may be no communication between procurement division and store manager and the store manager may not know what he is getting, how much is he getting and at what time. The other reason can be that the truck is entering the premises with the wrong items (contrary to what was ordered) Point no. 2 can be broken down into several inventory management issues. Demand estimation, service cycle levels and are they reasonable and things like that. Basically a whole lot of OPMG from term 3. Point no. 3 is what do they use to upload. In this case the labour was fine but then there was a problem with the pallet availability. Pallets can be unavailable because they are procured from a vendor with high lead time. b) What can be the external factors that influence increase in costs? Are these the only transporters? Can we get better rates from another transporter Are these transporters getting rate of the items brought in.
Tips: Stay cool and confident. A case is just like doing a 30 min project under a
guide. Engage with him and be interested in knowing more.

Round: HR Interview
Tips: You can prepare for all the basic questions in a PI. Tell me about yourself is a standard question and should really be the clincher in any interview. Try not to talk only about studies and projects. Bring in a human and humour element to your anecdotes. And of course relevant anecdotes.

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Case Study Interview
Experience: In the first round, apart from questions asked in the personal interview I was given a guesstimation case to solve. It didn't (that)go well . The guesstimation problem was as follows:
You are a private company who has got the contract to install street lights in Lucknow. Guesstimate the number of street lights that will be required and the expected profit you think you can earn.
Structure:
1. I assumed Lucknow‟s area to be 20km by 20km.
2. I, then, divided the city into a matrix assuming it to be criss-crossed by #60 20 km roads running horizontally and vertically each.
3. Then estimated an approximate of 30% area to be under forest cover.
4. Divided the roads in the remaining 70% area into roads present in residential and non-residential (commercial + highways) areas. Took an estimate on number of street lights present per km in both these areas.
5. Finally came to a number on the number of street lights taking into account that some places will have 2 lamps on a single post while others will have just 1.
6. After that estimated the product + set-up cost for each street light.
7. Estimated the running charges (maintenance and electricity). Electricity charges would depend on the number of operation hours and watt-rating of the lamp. Maintenance charges and profit margin was estimated.
8. In the end a total estimate of profits was calculated.

Tips: Prepare for guesstimation well.

Round: Case Study Interview
Experience: This round was based on my work-ex.
Tips: Know your company well and have a good hold on your sector.

General Tips: Prepare for cases and guesstimation problems well.

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Case Study Interview
Experience: i went through four rounds in total. The first questioned asked, in the first round, was the number of shortlist on day 0 and the interviewer jumped straight into a slide in his laptop. Basically the slide had plenty of line diagrams. I had no clue what it was about. As we started interacting, I figured out the line diagrams showed number of units sold in a span of 8-9 months.
I was asked to analyse the line diagrams. On further interaction and based on my answers, I came to know the diagrams had the data about the number of units sold by various companies and total number of units sold in each month. The figures didn't show any consistent pattern and I was asked to figure out why was it so. Basically only thing I could figure out was the sales showed cyclical nature and the number showed a positive trend just before Oct-Nov and a dropping trend in Jan-Mar.
There was a clear market leader but the sales were decreasing in latest months while there was a fierce competition for the second and the third slot. A detailed discussion took place about who can take the second place and why. Then he asked some FRA question related to the graphs. The discussion boiled down to FIFO/LIFO method and he gave some data for a particular company and I was asked to show the impact of LIFO or FIFO on Profit, COGS, Taxes, and retained earnings.
After that he asked a short case on airline industry and it didn't revolved around rising oil prices (Aberration of current Market condition). According to the case, one courier company increased the freight charges though there was a decrease in oil prices. My answers revolved around higher interest rates and depreciation which decreased the operating profit of the courier company. But he was looking for something else and the case was supposed to be analysed from demand-supply side (Microeconomics!!!!). With his input we concluded that the business model of freight industry was changing. Companies who used to transport by rail/road now started using Air Freight which increased the demand suddenly and hence the price. Further because of capacity constraint, the Air Freight company bought few new aircrafts and hence wanted to break even early to make the most of current market.
Note: The interview went Ok types. Interviewer expectation was much more and I think I could not handle the Airline case upto his expectation. He wished me good luck for the next round.


Round: Case Study Interview
Experience: I came to know that they have scheduled my first round again as they were expecting more. The interview started with “How did the first round went”? I said “It was decent but I should have done better”. He asked “would have or should have”? I said “Should have”. “What went wrong” was his instant question. I gave my analysis and he looked satisfied by my analysis (He displayed like that). I was told that this round will have 2 parts: (i) Case and (ii) some general questions.

Case: It was about decreasing sales of Nano in Kolkata and adjoining areas.
Case analysis:
Initially we discussed if it was a normal trend in other parts of India or not. If there was any price increased by Nano or any changes with the design which might not have gone well with the consumers. We also spoke about impact of negative publicity like engine failure and instances of fire breaking out in Nano. Marketing strategies of handling negative publicity was also discussed.
But the maximum discussion happened around 2 points:
1) As Nano was mainly for people with 2 wheeler, I wanted to understand where the real issue was. Whether consumers are moving to 2.5-3 lakhs priced car like Alto and Zen (few others also) or people with 2 wheeler were not able to buy Nano. I asked about any trend whether any data regarding people willingness to buy Nano (Through Test Drives taken, visits to showrooms etc.) but not actually buying was there or not. After few minute of discussion, I was told that the main issue was people with 2 wheeler are not buying Nano. So the main issue was affordability. I recommended zero % interest rate for EMI for first 2 years of purchase and very minimal ROI after that. We also discussed about the bank Nano should partner with and then he filtered the question to 1 bank only. I opted for SBI as it has branches in adjoining remote areas of Kolkata and people there have higher trust in Govt. banks.
2) We also spoke about the Demand-Supply constraint. If there was any channel conflict. Brief interaction revealed that Nano had only 7 distributors in that part of region and this was a major problem and it should increase by 3-4.

As he was very satisfied with the case analysis, the second part of interview was not much of pain. It was more of a general discussion. As I had work ex in IT industry, I was asked how will I handle management consulting as it‟s very different from IT consulting and required very competent skills. I was also asked about the highest level of client interaction and how I managed them. He specifically asked for one of the CV point which was about interacting with the program director of the US based client and how I managed to convinced him to increase the scope of the development, issues faced and what it took to convince him to approve the increase in man hours effort from 400 to 950.
Few questions about my strengths and how I will handle the clients specifically when I am interacting with CXO level people followed. I was also asked why consulting and whether I would be comfortable travelling after marriage. Overall I had a very good interview.

Tips: -Practice some cases before interviews.
-Never think that you are out of race. Don‟t judge yourself in the interview. Interviewer might give you chance to bounce back.

Round: Case Study Interview
Experience: This round was taken by one of our alums. I was asked if I am nervous or excited. I said both and was asked to explain why so. (Good Ice Breaking 5 minutes). I was again asked the number of process I am running for (Other Shortlists!!!). A casual discussion followed like it must be tough running for different process in different parts of the campus.
He was constantly picking up points from my CV and it was more or less work experience related interview. I asked three questions to him and a detailed discussion took place.

Round: Case Study Interview
Experience: It was HR round which lasted for around 10 minutes. Questions like Why ABC, Consulting, my strengths, best and worst feedback received in my previous work ex were asked. I was asked about my expectation from ABC. Brief discussion about my POR and CGPA followed.
Tips: 1) Stay Cool because it will help you to interact freely and focus on various perspectives which is very important in the case
2) Display a lot of enthusiasm and don‟t shy away from talking. Remember Consultant need to do a lot of talking. Just ensure you talk sense on that day.

General Tips: Keep calm and cool even if you get stuck up.
Consider various perspectives while answering for a case.

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Case Study Interview
Experience: Case: A multinational firm in oil and gas segment is looking at setting up a green field plant by collaborating with ONGC India. You being one of the directors chosen to work for this partnership what are the most important factors you would look at?
Case analysis:
I divided the decisions into HR, operations, finance and marketing related decisions. Since the venture was a new one I focused on the organizational chart development and the role of director in selecting the right people for higher and middle management roles. I also talked about getting policies with regard to skill set of workers, policy on unions being in place. Talked about setting up a township and hiring a contractor for it as the location is likely to be in a remote area. Also, focused on retaining and hiring of talent.
Marketing function decisions included pricing of product (based on cost estimates of sales force) and sales force for carrying out B2B activities. Discussion on operations was the most important one in this case. I talked about the role of director in hiring a contractor and overlooking the subcontractors used. I also talked about the timelines of the project and suggested a milestone based approach with penalties to ensure that the work gets done. In addition to contract related equipment i focused on the equipment specification to match to the capacity expectations. Aggregate planning with scaling up was also suggested to make the factory operational and to sort out initial issues. I focused on the supply chain related issues to transport the end product to customers.(Suggested pipeline)
Talked about the role of cost accountant in determining the price of the end product and also focused on selecting an external auditor to oversee the accounting standards.

Structure:
Divided the case as per verticals in an organization.
A guesstimate on the number of streetlights in Lucknow was asked (He asked me to be very short in description and wanted me to use numbers at every step) .
I approached this by assuming Lucknow to be close to a rectangle in shape the dimensions being 20 x 15 Km. Then i assumed the main streets to be passing though lines joining the mid points. I assumed that these roads to be two lane and had the highest density of lights. The next part was about the streets branching out of these streets and i assumed lower density of lights here. Thus i got a series and added them up to get the number of lights.
Tips: Ask for clarifications to the interviewer if needed. Practice a lot of cases with your peers.
Be clear about "Why ABC (or any firm in consideration)‟?

General Tips: Analyze the case patiently and try not to goof up during case interviews.

Payroll related services and processing capabilities to other companies.

General Tips: Interviewee can start by repeating the case to the interviewer in order to make sure he/ she has understood the objective properly (very very important). Then start of by describing the economy of the country in which the client is in (read the papers) and ask if any external change is resulting in the issue. Then move onto the company and ask about what the company does, product mix, revenue and cost trends over time. Then move onto the market scenario (industry analysis) and ask about market size and growth rates, competitors and market shares. Use this data to start solving the case and involve the interviewer as much as possible. Summarize the case. [Not more than 20 seconds!

  • Q1. You have to make a choice between 3 consulting offers that you have and you should prepare an issue tree analysing the situation

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Case Study Interview
Experience: The theme of the interview was to test how I react when put under pressure and I think the way I responded to it is what clinched the interview for me. I think the interviewer was very aggressive in his questions and tried to make the questions as uncomfortable as possible for me.One learning that I would want to leave out of this experience is that it works better if you take a stand and are hard on that throughout. Just hang-in, by using different arguments possible or even repeat the same arguments in different ways but its important to just hang-in. For example, on the consulting vs. I-banking issue, there were moments when he dominated the discussion so much that I could have shifted my stance a bit but in hindsight that could have been fatal.
Tips: Frankly, issue trees are ambiguous in the sense that you can cut the problem any which way and I made a 3 level issue tree. Don’t think I should give the one that I made here as benchmark because its easy to make any issue tree and then defend it. I presented the tree and the interviewer seemed to like how I did it. He raised a point that I missed incorporating information about the and adjusted my analyses promptly.
