This was a longer interview process than all other consulting interviews I've done (6+ rounds). The interviewers were great, but HR & processes were not very friendly at different stages.

I applied through university. I interviewed at Oliver Wyman
Interview
VP in the interview kept interupting with mhms that threw me off guard; questions were rapid fire and didn't seem like he cared much; the case was from someone who genuinely did not care at all for the interview -- they were extremely dismissive and was not paying attention; easy case but bad experience
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Oliver Wyman (Milan) in Jan 2025
Interview
No HR screening at the beginning. In total, 5/6 case interviews, most of them with very senior people (i.e. partners). Positive experience overall while they were a bit long in providing a feedback
