Anybody heard from Roland Berger?
Here is where i'm at so far:
BCG--->rejection
Bain--->rejection
APT--->rejection
OW----> tests in January
Credo---->first round--->rejection
RB----> waiting
LEK----> waiting
OC&C----> waiting
I'm surprised that OC&C and LEK haven't replied yet. Generally, even if it's a no, they let you know where they stand.

Basically they may give you a square with a circle in it and ask you to work out the shaded area - or similar to this. I was totally unprepared for this sort of question.

I really do question the hiring process in Consultancy...

So LEK and Roland Berger are interviewing - I'm yet to receive a rejection; but I did get one from Monitor.

Seems like it won't be a job at a strat house for me next year.

BCG Offer :biggrin::biggrin:

Great news. Congratulations! Seems odd you got rejected from LEK (disclaimer: I don't know how strong you are on paper but your interview rate is pretty good and LEK have a reasonably large intake so I would have thought they'd interview fairly widely). Could it be possible that they just assumed you'd get (and accept) and MBB offer?

Thanks man, just did them.
Pretty confident I failed miserably, I think I answered about 12 in numerical.
