Decision Resources Group Management Consultant Interview Questions
& Process

This was the worst interview process ever! They kept me in limbo by interviewing me multiple times and making me go through multiple rounds. Their HR was pathetic and unreachable, and finally stopped responding. Even after going through the last round, where the managing partner interviewed me, they asked me to further consider another position within a different team in their company, as they were really impressed with my skill set and found my profile to fit well into that role. I expected a follow-up from their HR for the other position. To my disappointment, their HR and even other team members stopped responding to my email. I contacted the other team’s hiring manager to further the process. The hiring manager for that team quickly arranged an interview for me with his team. However, they made me go through multiple interview rounds AGAIN. After multiple follow-ups and months of waiting they chose an internal candidate. Why waste candidate’s time when you are not serious about hiring them? I am glad I did not receive an offer to join this company. Who knows how they would have treated me once I would have joined them! Please beware of this company.

The interview process is pretty standard in comparison to other consultancies. It started with a recruiter call. Then there was a 30-minute behavioral interview over the phone with a Senior Consultant. The second round was a 45-minute phone interview that had some behavioral questions and a small case (simple math, e.g. market sizing). The third and final round interview was in-person at their NYC office, or whatever office you'll be based in. It was basically their super day, with a 60-minute interview that included some behavioral questions but mostly a case, a presentation (you're given the task to pre-prepare and present come interview day), and a behavioral with a partner.

I connected with Decision Resources at my university's career fair. We had an initial interview on campus with an Associate Consultant who had been with the firm for 3 years. That interviewer was both helpful and challenging, asking about my personality/fit and a brief case question. It lasted about 30-45 minutes. Then, I had a long but very informative in-office interview where I met with 6-8 people from different management levels at DRG. These interviews were mainly personality/fit and short, simple qualitative cases, with one or two quant cases that weren't too difficult. I was really impressed by how accomplished everyone was, yet also how down-to-earth, and I knew I wanted to join the firm if I got an offer.
