Neudesic Management Consultant Interview Questions
& Process

So I interviewed with Neudesic, and the first part was this aptitude test. It was mostly about seeing how well you can solve problems and your basic reasoning. It was done in person and you had a set time to finish it. The aptitude test had different types of questions: Math stuff like time and work, percentages, ratios, profit and loss, and number systems. Then there was logic stuff like puzzles, series, directions, seating, and syllogisms. And English questions like reading comp, grammar, synonyms/antonyms, and sentence fixing. It was a moderate difficulty, some logic questions were a bit tricky. You needed to be good with time because some questions needed fast math and smart logic. It was good that there wasn't any negative marking, so they wanted you to try all the questions. All in all, this first round checked your analytical skills and covered a good range of topics. Practicing with mock tests and basic aptitude drills really helped me out.

It was about 6 rounds and a whole day process. The first round was an aptitude test with 15 questions, needing more than 9 correct to pass. The second round was a DSA problem called 'Single Number'. They asked to write code for an array problem like arr=[1, 2,2,3,3] where the output should be 1. You had to write the code and an instructor would check it. The third round was DSA for valid parentheses. The fourth round was a DSA problem involving decoding integers into sequences. For input 226, the decodings are (2, 2,6), (22, 6), (2, 26), giving an output of 3. For input 2268, decodings are (2, 2,6,8), (22, 6,8), (2, 26,8), output 3, but (2, 2,68) is invalid since numbers map to alphabets 1-26. The fifth round was a Problem Solving question based on recursion, dealing with speed and acceleration. The sixth round was a GD with the company team, asking team and scenario based questions.

A recruiter reached out the same day my company had layoffs, seeming more interested in getting layoff details than anything else. They contacted me again a month later about a role, but were vague about the position and salary. During the first interview, within 10 minutes, I figured out they were looking for a management/strategy consultant, though it seemed they really wanted a program manager. This business seems more focused on tech than strategy and their attitude was arrogant. I had two interviews that felt very disconnected. The first was okay, but they kept asking questions whose answers were already on my resume, and the second interview was the same. I got rejected via message after they led me on for over two months. One interviewer even admitted the benefits were 'meh' and the company was also 'meh' when I asked what he liked about working there and about the benefits. I'd steer clear of this place.
