Behavioral / Fit Interviews
Should my interview presentation copy the consulting firm's visual style?
I have to make a PowerPoint presentation for the fit part of an interview. Should I use the company's colours and fonts, or use my own design? I want it to make a good impression without spending time on the wrong things.

Please de-emphasize design and emphasize content. They care about your thinking and structure, not if you've made it pretty (they can train you in this).

I recommend that you start to approach it this way: boil down good vs bad design into principles, determine the key things to check in a slide, identify what small tweak changes a slide from looking average to awesome.
