Behavioral Case
I applied online for the role and after submitting my application, I had a screening call with a recruiter to review my background and overall fit. I then completed two interviews that focused on my general experience and included a short case-style exercise. After those interviews, the recruiter reached out again to discuss compensation. I was informed that the salary range had been lowered since I applied and that they could not offer anything above 140k. This change was not communicated earlier in the process, and the originally posted range was not honored. Aside from the compensation discrepancy, everyone I spoke with was professional and pleasant, and the culture seemed positive. Unfortunately, the inconsistency around the salary range affected my overall experience and desire to work for them.

Behavioral Technical Case Presentation
This company had a lot of red flags. First, the person who set up the interview wasn't the one who interviewed me. It was some director who was really condescending. Second, the HR email felt scammy, starting with '[name] had good things to say about you,' which is weird since I never talked to [name]. Third, the process involves 3-4 rounds and a case study presentation, which I'm not going to do for free. Also, the interviewer implied that you'd be doing multiple jobs. It seems like these roles are just staff consultants, basically being put on client projects and at their service. They made it clear clients come first, not employees.

Case Behavioral
The interview process involves 4 stages. The last 3 stages include a business case. Before each stage, you'll receive one-pagers to give you an idea of what to expect and prepare. The recruiting team provides updates throughout the process. The interviewers are good resources for asking about company culture, expectations, and client work.
Confirmed questions4 questions
- Tell me about your past experiences through situational questions.
- The business cases were fairly standard.
- The final case study was long but provided sufficient details to develop a proposal.
