Arthur D Little Interview | UK

Hi,

First of all, congratulations on the invitation from Arthur D. Little!

I would be happy to share my thoughts on your question:

• First of all, the entire application process at ADL is fairly standard and similar to most other consulting firms. Typically, the recruiter should have already shared the logistics of the application process with you, but if not, I would highly advise you to clarify this with them.
• Moreover, over the years, I have helped many candidates secure offers from Arthur D. Little, both in the UK and abroad. As the most experienced coach in terms of consulting, interviewing and coaching, I'd be more than happy to help you.

Best,

Hey there, 

ADL's interview structure is similar to most consulting firms interview structure. You could expect a couple of rounds (3 or 4) consisting of an initial screening, personal fit and case interview. The cases usually are Candidate Led too 

All the best! 

Congrats on the invitation to an ADL interview! I hope the interview prep process is going well. You can expect similar components to other firms (case and fit) and should prepare accordingly. I've coached experienced hires and went through the process myself as an experienced hire. I'd be happy to share more insights with you on how to crush the interview. Feel free to reach out.

Hi there,

Funny how some answers like Hagen's provide no actual insights, except self-promotion with no data/facts to support it. :D

Not sure if you are still in the process but this maybe helpful for others who read this:

• Format is the same as for most other firms (mix of fit and case), usually spread across 2 interview rounds
• In the fit, create a credible narrative of why ADL is the place to be and not any other smaller or larger consulting firm (this is often a key differentiator of candidates in these smaller firms - most don't have this on their radar)
• Cases are mainly taken from their core industry focus and the background of their interviewers (more so than in MBB where cases and industry context is chosen more randomly)
• Higher frequency of market sizing compared to MBB and T2 interviews
• Brainteasers are occasionally still used (big difference to most other firms)

So, in a nutshell, prepare for the fit interview and case like you would for any other firm. Add 10% of practice time for market sizing and 5% for brainteasers.

Cheers,

Florian
