FSG Associate Interview Questions
& Process

The first interview was a senior team leader call over zoom (no cameras). It was a basic interview going over my qualifications and experience. The second interview involved a test where they gave me information and numbers about creating a vaccine and I had to show my methodology on how I would advise on the process. Basic math was needed.

We started with an HR call where they went over the process and what they were looking for. The first stage was a phone screening that focused on problem structuring and a simple case study. No fit questions were asked. Next, there was a Skype case study with a senior consultant, which was pretty involved and focused on market sizing and problem-solving, with a few fit questions. The final round was another Skype case study, this time with an associate director, again focusing on market and problem sizing, but with more fit questions than the previous interview.

It started with a phone interview focusing on my background and its relevance to consulting. A week later, I had a follow-up in-office interview that involved three separate sessions. These sessions involved deeper dives into my experience and work habits, and also provided insights into the company's work and culture. A case study analysis test was also part of this. Within days, I was contacted for a third interview, with an urgency expressed to schedule it quickly. I provided my availability promptly, but then heard nothing for two weeks. The next communication informed me that I was no longer being considered for the role. I think asking about work-life balance and mentioning my young children might have been the reason, as the interviewers seemed hesitant.
