I applied online. The process took 9 months. I interviewed at Oliver Wyman (Moscow, Moskva) in Feb 2016
Interview
Very long process. Took almost a year to local an interview spot after successfully past numberical test and received interview invitation. The interview consisted of two 30 minutes cases. So in total it takes no more than 1.5 hours. Travel expenses are not covered for first interview round. In February they very interviewing a lot of people. So I guess they have enough projects, most of them now focusing on cutting costs and improving profitability.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Calculate how much could company afford to pay for rent so that it would make sense to open an Sporting facility in small Russian town.
Sehr freundliche Gespräche, insgesamt vier, zwei mit Case-Studies, leider reicht ein Nein schon aus, dass es nicht in die nächste Runde geht, auch wenn die anderen drei ein ja gegeben haben. Überraschenderweise wurden von einer Person auch viele Fragen zum Industrie-Wissen gestellt, evtl. weil ich bereits Berufserfahrung habe - war aber nicht in der Industrie. Macht also ggf. auch Sinn sich vorab nochmal über Trends und Hot Topics in der jeweiligen Industrie zu belesen.
