The Interview Process

We think our interview process is a great way to get to know you. It’s also a fantastic way for you to get to know a little more about A.T. Kearney, and find out whether we are a good fit for you. That’s why we place a great deal of importance on the entire interview process. Our interviewing process begins shortly after you have sent us your application, and is structured in three rounds.

• First Round:  Aptitude Test - In this round, you will be invited to complete an one hour test, similar to GMAT. Your math, general knowledge and time management skills will be put to test.
• Second Round: Interviews with our senior consultants - You will have two interviews to assess your overall fit with A.T. Kearney based on personal characteristics, industry/function experience, core competencies (such as team work and implementation), consulting affinity and potential client impact. In the meantime we will also ask you to complete a small case study. How well you do in this will reveal your communication skills, problem-solving powers, and your ability to solve a typical consulting problem within a limited timeframe.
• Third Round: Interview with the Vice President - Should you be successful in the first rounds, you will be invited to meet with a Vice President within a few weeks of the first round for a final interview.
• Offer - The outcome of the first rounds and Vice President interview will determine whether or not you receive an offer. Once you have decided to accept our offer, you will also be provided with the name of your mentor.
