I applied through university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at ZS Associates (Toronto, ON) in Mar 2008
Interview
The company was very good to work with throughout the interview process. Once I was listed on the interview list, I did two 30 minute interviews - one was a case type interview, and the second was a behavioral. Both were with consultants working in the office.
After those interviews, I received a call from the manager, inviting me to come to final round later in the week - which consisted of four sesisons. Two case interviews, one behavioral, and one presentation/demo. All were with managers and principals.
That night, the principal called me to give me a job offer. Overall, the process was as quick and efficient as possible, and the group respected everyone that interviewed. Talking to other candidates, it would seem that even the "no offer" group received quick responses.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Can you please describe a time where you had to solve a particularly challenging analytical problem.
Good interview started from basics went in deep about sql python and projects as well. Did cross questioning on projects and then ended with a some behavioural questions. Overall a very nice experience.
they take an online test of verbal, data interpretation, aptitude, etc. They also ask a question which you have to reply through a video, where they will give you a random topic, you have to record a video speaking about the topic for 60 to 90 seconds.
The interview process is a bit difficult to crack. Go through your resume and be ready to answer whatever they ask about it.
Practice guesstimates and puzzles thoroughly. Be consistent with your logic in solving problems
