Censeo Consulting Group Business Analyst Interview Questions
& Process

Seemed like a great opportunity. Just had a first round interview that went seemingly well. However, the HR person called 15 mins late. At the end of the interview, I was offered a second round and promised an email explaining more of the case studies and topics covered within the following 3 business days. After a few weeks of silence, I was denied. Had I not been given an empty promise, this process would have been more professional.

Interviews were done through on campus recruiting. I applied with a cover letter and resume on my university's job portal. About two weeks later, I got an email for informal coffee chats with two recruiters, and they said half of those invited would get a formal interview. The recruiters were nice and answered my questions. A few days later, I got an interview. It had two parts, standard for consulting: a case study and a behavioral/skills part. The case interview was straightforward, mostly cost-cutting, no hard math. The second interview's first half was behavioral, so just have stories ready. The second half was tough for me; it involved analyzing graphs and charts. I messed up by doing calculations when I should have just pointed out trends. If I had moved on, the final interview would have been at their DC office. The recruiter emailed me afterward with feedback on areas to improve, even though I didn't get the job.

After applying, there were some coffee chats for people they might want to interview. Soon after, I heard back about whether I got an interview. The first interviews were on campus, back-to-back with managers for 45 minutes each. They included a short case study and some behavioral questions. About a week later, I got invited to a final round. This involved a casual happy hour at the office with drinks and food where I could chat with everyone. The actual interviews were the next day, similar to the first round: two 45-minute interviews, back-to-back with managers. The whole experience was really good, couldn't have asked for a better process.
