Interview
A friend at uni was lectured by one of the partners, and so I emailed the partner out of the blue. He set up an interview for me 3 days later. The interview started with a 1 on 1 interview with one of the analysts, who asked me brainteaser questions. 200 divided by 7, what is the square root of 0.1, and what is the degree between the hour and minute hands at quarter past 9. Then a more senior analyst came in, and we had a general discussion about healthcare consulting, it was more of a discussion than interview. He liked that I was motivated and showed interest, but NO TECHNICAL QUESTIONS WERE ASKED.
Interview Questions
200/7 without the use of paper or a pen.

Square of 0.1 again, without paper or pen.

What is the angle between the hour and minute hand of a clock when the time is quarter past 9.

The first actual interview question about me was "why are you here?".

The analyst then asked me "What is it that we do here?". "Who do we advise".

"Why can you only speak one language?"

When the other analyst came in, he asked me "so why do you want to do consulting?".

It then became a discussion. They seemed very open with their acceptance.
