I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Strategy& (Helsinki, Southern Finland) in June 2021
Interview
Was interviewing for a position at their Helsinki Office.
Overall, I enjoyed the process. It takes a little longer than with some other firms I interviewed with (three rounds instead of two).
Because of the 45-minute duration of the interview, the behavioural part felt a bit short, but almost in every interview, I think it was enough to establish a connection between the interviewer and the interviewee. The cases were challenging yet interesting to solve.
The only interview I had bad feelings about was my last interview of the third round. The whole interview felt a bit rushed. The interviewer downloaded my CV only during the interview and started to look at it whilst we spoke. Moreover, he did not introduce himself at the beginning, so it was quite challenging to establish some common grounds and a connection. I felt that a big part of it came from this rush to run through the interview and judge the person in front of you by his CV rather than the actual conversation. Finally, there was no time for questions at the end, which added to that feeling of being in a hurry.
To sum up, only one bad interview out of 7 is not too bad.
Colloquio con HR + 3 business case: 1 sizing + 2 casi strutturati in ambito Financial Discipline (ossia quella in cui sarei stato inserito).
Casi fatti con manager, director e un partner
Super angenehme und wirklich interessierte Interviewer, mit denen man super connecten kann. Habe ich bei MBB anders erlebt. Klassisches Consulting Interview mit Personal fit und Case Study. Der Prozess mit allen 3 Runden ist remote und an einem Tag erledigt, inklusive Vertragsangebot, welches man direkt am selben Tag erhält. Ein Interview ist auf Englisch.

I applied through university. I interviewed at Strategy& (Beirut) in Dec 2025
Interview
The interview process took significantly longer than expected, and communication throughout was slow and inconsistent. Updates were infrequent, and response times made it difficult to stay engaged. A more structured timeline and clearer communication would greatly improve the candidate experience.
