Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Innosight.
Analyst
The interview process included a case study and a partner interview. The case study was a bit challenging, so it's crucial to be really good at leading cases, as it's easy to get stuck in interview-led cases. It was straightforward overall but highly competitive.
- Can you discuss some Innosight frameworks?
Summer Analyst
I applied through on-campus recruiting. I sent in my resume, cover letter, and transcript. Then I was contacted for some first-round interviews. There were two 30-minute sessions, and they were a mix of regular behaviorals like 'walk me through your resume,' 'why consulting,' and 'why Innosight,' and also a short case about growth opportunities using consumer segmentation and constructing an investment portfolio. I had to use graphics and charts for it.
- What do you think we do?
Analyst
After an initial phone screening that lasted about 30 minutes, I went through two more phone interviews, each around 30-45 minutes. These interviews were a mix of case study and fit questions. I got a tip from someone I knew at the firm that I didn't need to stick to super rigid responses or use specific frameworks like the ones in Case in Point. The first case I got was about a company wanting to quickly and cheaply test a new concept. The second interview involved a more standard healthcare case, and I felt like having knowledge of traditional frameworks was more aligned with what they were looking for.
- How should a company test a new idea quickly and with minimal cost?
- Tell me about a traditional healthcare case.
