I've been invited to complete the Kearney numerical assessment in person at the office. I was recommended by someone from my previous startup who came from Kearney. However, I've heard that Kearney doesn’t seem to value startup experience much and even told my recommender that I come across as "too startup-y."
I find it odd that I have to take the test in person since most candidates complete it online. Do you think they might be making the process more difficult for me? On the bright side, I see this as an opportunity to meet them in person and showcase my attitude and personality.
I've also been told that no calculator is allowed and that the test lasts one hour. I checked the mock questions (using difficult percentages like 0.639%) on their website and was completely shocked. I’ve already taken the McKinsey and Bain tests, which I found quite time-constraining, but at least they were online and allowed a calculator. I honestly have no idea how I’m going to manage this test.
