Preparing for Your Case Interview
MBAs and non-MBA candidates for the commercial business go through the same case based interview process at Booz Allen Hamilton. For both first and second round interviews, you should expect to meet with two interviewers for approximately 45 minutes each. At least some portion of each interview should involve analyzing a case. (First round interviews may be conducted on campus, in office or by telephone.)
The case interview provides the opportunity for you to showcase your analytical skills, the flexibility of your thinking and your ability to perform within time constraints. We strongly encourage you to practice for your case interviews.
Interview cases are typically drawn from the interviewers' experiences. Although cases may be approached using frameworks (discussed below), it is impossible to predict the cases you will be given, and most interviewees are best served by practice. Interviewers are prepared to volunteer a significant amount of information at your request to assist you in making assumptions to solve the case.
In addition to reviewing case studies, we also recommend that you prepare the following:
* Questions for the interviewer
* Analytical frameworks to help you structure your response to the case
* A concise 1-2 minute summary of why you want to be a Booz Allen consultant
