Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Simon-Kucher
Colloquio
2 Gespräche á 45 Minuten
Im ersten Gespräch wurde mehr auf mich eingegangen, meine Motivation, mein Lebenslauf etc.
Im zweiten Gespräch wurde ein sehr komplexer Fall behandelt.
Vor dem Vorstellungsgespräch sollten 2 Fragen auf Englisch vorbereitet werden:
1) What makes Simon-Kucher stand out as being different or interesting compared to other consultancies?
2) Tell us about a product or service of your choice that you feel has a clever marketing strategy.
Die Atmosphäre war in beiden Gesprächen positiv.

Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Simon-Kucher (Houston, TX)
Colloquio
2 rounds. 1 case interview first round with some behavioral sprinkled in and immediately moved to final round. 3 case interviews final round with behavioral in each of the interviews
1 interview first round and 3 interview final. Typical consulting first round, but final round had more uncommon cases, including a bit of brainteasing, unseen data visualization plots, and very uncommon business case. More emphasis on your ability to think mathematically and extract insights from data. Hard to prepare for these final round interviews. Not your typical case

Colloquio
2 Interviews each 1h. The interviews had a nice climate and felt more like a conversation.
1. Personal Fit
- Why Simon Kucher (Had to prepare a slide before the interview)
- What are your strengths
Typical personal fit questions. They were very keen on what feedback I received in previous internships.
2. Case Study
First was pricing-related and very numerical. I had to do a lot of mental math.
The second was a go-to-market case, where I had to interpret charts.
3. My questions
