Phone Interview

1 on 1 Interview

Interview

The interview was pretty straightforward - not a lot of behavioral questions - mostly going through the cases.

Interview Questions

The case study questions were difficult because I had not had much preparation prior to the interview. I would recommend going through the cases extensively with a professional consultant because it helps you get critical feedback. I would have done much better if more behavioral questions were asked - but that was not the case. The company seems to be more focused on finding people who can analyze cases better than people who are a better fit to the company. Apart from the case questions, not many others were difficult.

Questions were easy, no curve balls. Began with general overview of the position, overview of the company and what they do. The firm specializes in proprietary industry insights, aggregated through the work analysts do through cold calling/investigative research. Be prepared to discuss your quantitative and qualitative research capabilities. How familiar are you with primary and secondary source research? What would you do if you were dealing with someone who does not appear receptive to speaking with you?

Group Interview

Interview

Was emailed by their head of HR asking me to confirm an interview date for the following week. About 15 people were there for I believe 1 slot. Interviewed 2 on 2 (another candidate and I along with 2 of their employees). Very short and laid back fit interview. Did not receive an email after a week so I followed up and was told the position had been filled. Overall good experience except for the paperwork that I had to fill out while waiting to be interviewed.

Interview Questions

Do you have any experience in the automotive industry?

The other candidate attempted to b/s the response even though he as an undergrad had absolutely no experience in the industry. I said, "Unfortunately I don't." They seemed to have wanted more out of my response but I was simply being straight forward.
