Case preparation is key, but not through rote learning as cases will become more and more unique over time. Meet people from the firm to get a sense of what the culture here is so that you understand what elements of it you appreciate most for the fit interview

Read up on the industries Oliver Wyman specialises in, the firm's culture and values, and then speak to as many people as possible at the firm to see if it's the right fit for you. Also recommend speaking to people at other consulting firms so you have something to compare to!
