First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Mu Sigma.
Senior Analyst
The interview was good. First, there was a screening round. Then a technical round, followed by an HR round. The HR round was simple and had a positive experience. Then they asked some technical questions about Piggybacking and microprocessors, which were quite tough, but I gave answers.
- Can you tell me your name?
- What is your family background?
- What do you know about piggybacking?
Analyst
Before the interview, there was a short SAT style test and a company video to watch and then write about it. The interview had two parts. The first part was a standard get to know you with questions like what do you know about us and why you would be a good fit. The second part involved a logic puzzle and then some hypothetical situational questions. The interviewer, who is the marketing director of Discover, asked me to come up with a plan to increase credit card transactions, adding a couple of curveballs but nothing too difficult. Overall, it was a pretty good experience.
- What do you think Mu Sigma does, and how will you and the company benefit from this relationship?
Analyst
It was a tough interview process where they really tested your critical thinking, logic, problem-solving, and communication abilities. First, they sent a video clip and asked for my thoughts on it. Then, there was a quantitative assessment test with questions similar to the GRE. Finally, I was invited for an interview that included more quantitative problems, a business case study, and other problem-solving tasks.
