I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Strategy& (Milano) in May 2018
Interview
The first step was the CV screening. Afetr that, I received an invitation for an assessment test at their Milan office. It was structured in three parts:
1. GMAT - like questions (mostly quantitative): 20 in 40 minutes.
2. Mini business case: 10 financial-based questions in 20 minutes.
3. Mini essay to write in English in 30 minutes.
I found it more difficult than expected but it was a good experience overall.
