First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Management Solutions.
Data Scientist
There's a group dynamic where you're asked to solve a pretty generic case with a client. Then there's an HR interview, an interview with a manager with a similar profile to yours, and finally an interview with a director. It's important to speak up during the dynamic because there are a lot of people and you might go unnoticed otherwise.

Data Scientist Consultant
It has 3 stages: an interview with HR, the manager, and a partner. With HR it was very relaxed, a long conversation and they don't want very technical data from you, just your performance in college and personal questions. With the manager, there are more logic and analytical thinking questions. With the partner, it's more about alignment and whether you fit into his project structure.
- If you had to split your total capacity into intelligence and effort, what percentage would you assign to each and what is your reasoning for this allocation?
Data Science Intern
It was a 4-stage process. First, a group activity where we had to develop and present a business idea. Then, an interview with HR and the head of the section. Finally, an interview with the client.
- Which area within the company do you like the most?
