I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Simon-Kucher (Boston, MA) in Oct 2015
Interview
Applied through on-campus recruiting program. First round interview was a 45 minute interview with a 30 minute case and 15 minutes on my career interests and background. Final around interview was a 4 hours saga which involved a 15 minute quantitative test and three 45 minute interviews. All interviews had 30 minutes for case interview and 15 minutes for behavioral/fit questions.
Interviewers were nice and friendly people. All cases were centered at pricing and had different difficulty levels. Cases with partners are more qualitative and brainstorming type.
