The interview process
If you are invited to sit for interviews, a case preparation is recommended. Practice as many case scenarios as possible, talking aloud with a partner and generating defensible hypotheses and solutions. Here are some tips that should help you succeed in the case interview:
-
Listen carefully; ask questions if there are any points you do not understand.
-
Once the interviewer provides you with the case parameters, summarize the case to the interviewer in your own words to be sure you understand the problem.
-
Then, take some time to think for a minute. Be confident and, perhaps most importantly, relax.
-
Find a way to structure the problem; this will guide your discussion with the interviewer. Briefly describe the framework you plan to use to the interviewer, allowing him or her a chance to offer comments. In general, the simpler the framework, the better.
-
Begin with the first element of your framework, and work through the answer out loud so the interviewer can evaluate your analytical structure and help you along.
-
Try to be aware of the time you have, moving through your framework at a pace that allows you to touch on all the elements you described at the beginning of the case discussion.
-
Pause periodically during the discussion to give your interviewer a chance to “course correct.” If your interviewer gives you some advice, take it—the interviewer wants to help you!
-
Toward the end of the case discussion, be prepared to take a stand. Most case discussions will seek some sort of recommendation from you.
The interview process at Booz & Company will generally be conducted over two rounds. Each round typically consists of two 45-minute interviews, each of which involves:
-
General discussion so we can get to know each other
-
Case discussion in which we try to understand how you go about analyzing real-world business problems
-
Answers to any questions that you might have.
