D1 Consulting Group Consultant Interview Questions
& Process

This was a very basic, straightforward interview process. There were three rounds. First round was in office. You sit down with one of the managers for the interview. Typical questions were asked about your future aspirations, yourself, and areas for improvement. Then the manager asked some resume specific details. As long as you can hold conversation with the manager during the interview while highlighting skills about yourself, then you're golden. As for the second round, you go out for lunch with one of the Assistant Managers and they ask the same type of questions from the first round, a couple of quantitative questions (very very easy multiplication haha), and some job specific questions. This stage lasted 2 hrs. The third round is a waste of time. You sit down with one of the Managers again and they just want you to be yourself at this point; all you do is answer some small talk questions and you're done. This stage lasted 10 min.

The interview process moved fast. HR director called me a day after I applied on careerbuilder.com to set up an interview. The first one was easy, not tough questions, and it was a fun vibe. It was a quick 20-minute one-on-one to get to know me. They asked about my strengths, my 5-10 year plan, what I'd bring to the company, my biggest weakness, and more. I got invited back for the second interview the next day, which lasted about 3 hours. I had lunch with a Jr Consultant and learned the job was door-to-door sales for entry level and jr. consultant roles, but after that, it moved into the office. She asked me simple questions about myself and my background. Then, I went back for a final interview in the office where they asked basic questions about me. I got offered the job that same night. It was a good experience meeting everyone and I liked the company culture, but the job itself wasn't for me.

So this job is called a Junior Consultant, but it's not really a trainee thing. First, there was an interview with a manager where they asked pretty standard stuff about my past experience and career goals. The next interview was way longer. They wanted to know how familiar I am with different marketing types, and they also went over how the pay and career progression works. Heads up, the first part is 100% commission, and you don't really make money until you finish a bunch of training. Also, the hours are kind of rough: 11 am to 8 pm on weekdays and 11 am to 7 pm on Saturdays.
