I applied through their website. The whole thing took about a month. First, there was an HR screening call, then a virtual first round, and finally, an in-person final round. They were upfront about the salary range from the start, which was nice. HR was really good at keeping in touch and answering my questions throughout. Both interviews were pretty standard, just asking about my past experiences. They really wanted to hear about examples using the STAR method and would ask more questions based on what I said. Overall, it was a pretty straightforward and well-organized process.

Behavioral
So it started with a quick screening call, then I had a 1 hour virtual behavioral interview with a manager. They hit me with about 5-6 behavioral questions. After that, I had to come in for another in-person behavioral interview. It was pretty much the same as the virtual one, some questions even repeated. No case study or anything like that. They're really looking for someone who fits the culture, not just someone with good answers. Best advice is to really try and connect with your interviewer first, then answer honestly using the STAR method. It's a pretty simple process and they want you to do well.

Behavioral Case
I had a phone interview that went really well. Then, I was invited to a 2-hour virtual interview the following week with two interviewers. It was all behavioral questions with lots of follow-ups. After that, I got a call for a third and final in-person interview. Before the interview, the interviewer gave me a tour of the office. I felt good about it afterward, but it turns out I didn't get the role.

Behavioral Case
Interviewed last December. Two rounds of interviews. 1st round is two 1-hour behavioral based interviews with multiple follow-up questions. I enjoyed speaking to one of the people but the other was very off-putting. 2nd round is in their office with a short behavioral based interview and a case study. Case study is very ambiguous and does not really test you on anything important. Staff is super friendly but there is a 'different vibe', not bad but also not a place that seems challenging. Not your typical consulting company I would say. Also, glassdoor is overestimating the salary offer I got.

- Tell me about a time you experienced conflict within a group.
