I applied through university. I interviewed at Simon-Kucher
Interview
Process:
1) Resume drop + Cover Letter Drop through Career Center website
2) First round interview (on campus): 1 case interview about the pharmaceutical industry (usual profit maximization/market share question)
2) Second round interview: 1 math test + 3 cases + 1 bonus case due to a scheduling conflict; the standard questions again with profit maximization under different scenarios, what would happen if a competitor entered the market. The key is to demonstrate how you think and be able to solve math problems quickly and efficiently. The math test was not difficult; it was composed of primarily of mini-case word problems.
