I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Emerging Strategy (Shanghai, Shanghai) in Feb 2018
Interview
After a couple of general questions about myself, I was asked about my knowledge of Emerging Strategy and the sort of work that they did, before being given the opportunity to ask questions. The interview finished with a consultancy interview style case study question.
Overall it was a tough but fair encounter, and the interviewer gave little away. Anyone applying for an internship interview should prepare well.
I applied through university. I interviewed at Emerging Strategy (Shanghai, Shanghai) in Feb 2017
Interview
I was asked about my past qualifications, interest in the company and my strengths and weaknesses, a pretty basic behavioral interview that focused on having a conversation . They stressed employees to have a curious and inquisitive nature and a strong desire to learn.
Conducted as a phone interview, they focused on past work experience and were really interested in past analytic work. I did not have any specifically relevant work experience, but they did not ding me for that. Two people interviewed me and got back to me fairly quickly.
