I liked that the simulation felt practical and close to real consulting work. It covered different parts of an engagement—from understanding the client and preparing interview questions to building a synergy model and communicating recommendations. It also helped me understand how consultants turn limited information into structured, actionable insights.

I really enjoyed this job simulation as it provided a practical introduction to management consulting. I particularly liked working with real-world style business data, building a synergy model, evaluating different scenarios, and communicating recommendations. The experience helped me understand how consultants approach acquisition and synergy analysis and improved my Excel and analytical skills.

I greatly enjoyed that I was able to see the proper formatting/answer to compare to what I thought was good. It definitely helped me identify items to add/deduct in the future. The business summary is a prime example, I did not include nearly enough information as I thought I did once compared to the proper one.
