I applied online. I interviewed at Strategy& (London, England) in Nov 2016
Interview
Applied online with CV and Cover Letter. Completed numerical and logical reasoning tests and was invited to an assessment centre in the London offices. Assessment centre consisted of 3 tests (a written report, numerical and logical reasoning tests) and 2 case study interviews. One case study interview is unstructured (more market sizing and just generic questions) whilst the other revolves around a slide pack of information which you must use to justify your approach.

I applied online. I interviewed at Strategy& (New York, NY) in Sept 2024
Interview
The interview was pretty standard in terms of case and behaviorals. Cases were about technology and data to analyze because that is what the position was. Interviewers were friendly, and process was not too long—I believe just 1-2 rounds. Declined offer for another firm, but interviewers reached out after to chat about the opportunity and were pretty transparent about what PWC/Strategy& had to offer in comparison.
