Have you recently had interviews at Monitor Deloitte for the Brussels Office?

Hi PrepLounge Community!

I'm reaching out to get some feedback from case interviews at Monitor Deloitte for the Brussels Office. If someone is willing to share his/her recent experience regarding the interview case during covid time for the Brussels Office, that would be of great help for me.

Thanks!

Hi Elis,

First, congrats on the interview!

Have HR sent you any information? If you can include this in the description, it would help. Information from my current candidates suggests that all Belgium interviews are being held virtually...please let us know if HR is saying otherwise!

In terms of interview tips during these times, I have the following advice:

1) Everything you need to demonstrate/know in "normal" times stays the same. Meaning, don't change any of your prep just becuase it's online. You will still get a prompt, you will still need to read/interpret charts, you will still need to be hypothesis driven, create a solid framework, drive the case, communicate clearly, think in a structured manner, etc. etc.

2) Get comfortable with virtual

  • Make sure you have a strong internet connection
  • Make sure your sound+video work
  • Get a large 2n monitor so you can look at things more easily (1 screen makes thought linear which is tough),
  • Have a good desk space and keep using paper for solving the case
  • Make sure you'll be in a quiet space with no distractions
  • Still dress for the occasion

​3) Think about COVID-19 implications to your case

You might either be given a COVID-19 case directly, or need to consider its impact. Clara and I have create a few cases to help you feel prepared with this!

Hello!

Although I haven´t helped someone specifically in MD in Brussels, their process is indeed very similar to the "classic" one. 

You have 2 main workstreams ahead:

1. FIT INTERVIEW

The "Integrated FIT guide for MBB" has been recently published in PrepLounge´s shop (https://www.preplounge.com/en/shop/tests-2/integrated-fit-guide-for-mbb-34)

It provides an end-to-end preparation for all three MBB interviews, tackling each firms particularities and combining key concepts review and a hands-on methodology. Following the book, the candidate will prepare his/her stories by practicing with over 50 real questions and leveraging special frameworks and worksheets that guide step-by-step, developed by the author and her experience as a Master in Management professor and coach. Finally, as further guidance, the guide encompasses over 20 examples from real candidates.

You can see plenty of reviews from candidates who purchased it already.

Furthermore, you can find 2 free cases in the PrepL case regarding FIT preparation:

Intro and CV questions > https://www.preplounge.com/en/management-consulting-cases/fit-interview/intermediate/introduction-and-cv-questions-fit-interview-preparation-200

Motivational questions > https://www.preplounge.com/en/management-consulting-cases/fit-interview/intermediate/motivational-questions-fit-interview-preparation-201

Behavioural questions (ENTREPRENEURIAL DRIVE) >https://www.preplounge.com/en/management-consulting-cases/fit-interview/intermediate/behavioral-questions-entrepreneurial-drive-fit-interview-preparation-211

Feel free to PM me for disccount codes, since we still have some left from the launch! :)

2. BUSINESS CASE

You don´t have any more time to the classics of Viktor Cheng, "Case in point" book, etc. You need to get hands on asap:

1. Practice cases with partners asap, as many as you can do.Find experienced partners who can provide a good feedback

2. Practice your math skills, both in your cases and with ad hoc exercisess, such as:

1. ​Multiplying double digit numbers (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ndkkPZYJHo

2. Leveraging math tools (Mimir math for iOS), Math tool on Viktor Cheng website to practice

Furthermore, you should practice as much as you can, and ensure that you cover:

1. Profitability cases- basic profitability framework.

2. Idea generation cases: for any specif issue

3. Growth cases: market penetration, new product launch, product mix change, etc.

4. Pricing cases

5. M&A cases

6. Valuation cases

7. Value chain cases

Given you are under this much time contraint, consider working with a coach to foster speed and ensure you have a tailored plan to be very targeted. PM me interested!

Hope it helps!

Cheers,

Clara

Hi there, 

I believe the interview process at Monitor Deloitte is pretty much the "standart one".

Regarding the topic Covid during the interview, you can come up with many answers and strategies if you know how big companies handled the pandemic. Since it's been a recurernt theme for more than a year, you can look up the pubic reports of pretty much any company. 

The more you know, the easier it would be for you to answer a similar question. 

Hope it helps!

Cheers, 

GB
