What did the interview consist of?
Phone Interview
Skills Test
Please describe the interview / hiring process.
The process consisted of an initial phone interview with HR.
Having passed that stage, the next step was a typical consulting case study, of about an hour, which followed a 15 minute "fit" interview. The case was not specific to the focus of the company. Note that this was all on the phone.
After that, there followed another similar case study, also via phone, this one however was much more quantitatively focused than the previous, which as it transpired was intentional. Also one hour long, with 15 minutes of fit questions.
The next stage was an excel based case study. This was an hour and a half long, and differed in that I shared screens with the interviewer over Skype.
The final round would have been an interview in their offices, however I was rejected after the excel case study.
