Several rounds of interviews with Project Manager, Partner, Senior Partner - each round started off with fit interview questions followed by extensive cases. Some of the cases were more open-ended while some had more structure (specific calculations and numbers required to solve the case)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Bank is suffering from falling profit and market share - what would you advise CEO to do?
I interviewed at Roland Berger (São Paulo, São Paulo)
Interview
I have 2-3 case interviews. The interviews were done on real-time with no offline time to prepare. The cases were focused on market sizing, profitability issues and growth strategies. The Crafting Cases channel was very helpful to prepare for those
As expected in the management consulting industry. 4 interviews with relevant people in HR, then the team. They asked some unusual questions to test how you think, like how many ping pong balls fit inside a car.

3rd Interview with Partner Chantal Jäger: quick intro of candidate (me) and her, then case interview.
Quite bad experience overall with interruptions and cold atmostphere. In general, I had the impression from the start of the case that she does not want me to succeed in this case interview.
