Entretien
Interviewed for Dubai office. Had an initial intro call to clarify my CV/fit, followed by the actual process of 3 rounds of competency/fit and case interviews (senior consultant, principal, then partner).
Questions d'entretien [1]

Given payback period and annual profit, find investment cost). A market entry case (a company thinking of selling a new product). A market-sizing case (sizing the market for an emerging tech in a particular region).

1 round - Business plan
1 round - fit + market sizing/ business plan
They will challenge your assumptions, but doesn't mean you are wrong. Just try to defend it and be logical

Entretien
In total, I went through four virtual interviews – a personality/fit interview, two case interviews, and a final partner interview. The overall organization and structure of the process were excellent. What stood out in particular was how well-prepared the interviewers were, demonstrating a strong understanding of my academic background and professional experience. Throughout the process, the interviews felt less like formal assessments and more like engaging, thoughtful conversations at eye level. All interviewers were approachable, professional, and empathetic, and provided helpful guidance during the case discussions. This created an environment in which I was able to clearly demonstrate both my strengths and my motivation.

I had a two-hour online interview with two FIT and two case interviews. The experience was interesting and challenging, but the interviewers were late, not very professional, and I never received any feedback afterward.
