I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at GCI Management Consulting (Vienna) in Oct 2015
Interview
Was invited for an interview to Vienna. The interview was done by two Senior Consultants, both fairly friendly.
First half of the interview consisted of fit questions, why I wanted to do consulting, why I wanted to go to Austria (I'm originally German) and what I think my job would look like.
Was also asked about the topic of my graduate Thesis and how I conducted the research.
For the technical 'case' I was simply given the income statement and balance sheet of a medium sized Austrian company and was asked to analyze any trends.
Initially I had applied for the role of an M&A consultant, however it turned out that they were looking for a more general consultant. If I had succeeded in the first round I would have been invited a second round with one of the Partners of the firm.

Question 1
General questions: Why consulting, why this firm, why Vienna?
Small case which was only about knowing the income statement and balance sheet items very well, i.e. knowing what real world factors drive those positions.
