El proceso tomó 1 día. Acudí a una entrevista en ZS Associates (Chicago, IL) en may 2010
Entrevista
Applied on-line, received e-mail about 3 weeks later offering a phone interview. First there was a 30 min fit interview, pretty much just walking through my resume. Then there was a 30 min case question. The night before they sent an e-mail with a bunch of unlabeled charts and graphs. The case revolved around those graphs and I was asked some pretty specific quantitative questions. Like, calculate the 2nd derivative of an equation...I was not prepared. Got a call back the next day (less than 24 hrs) saying thanks but no thanks.
I pretty much blew the quantitative part though so it was not a surprise.
Went through the typical HR call in the initial stage; I felt that the interviewer was disinterested, but still proceeded to mention that the team will schedule an interview with me by end of the week.
I followed up a week after when they initially mentioned I can anticipate to hear back from the team. The process entailed 2 stages, with the initial stage online, and the second stage in person.
Interview comprised of 5 rounds,
1) HR phone screen for role alignment
2)Technical discussion with Senior Consultant (tools, data engineering/SQL)
3)Hiring Manager round (technical + behavioral)
4)Project presentation on an end-to-end pipeline (with Senior Manager & Associate Principal)
5) Final discussion with Principal

Pregunta 1
Tell me about the project you worked on where you created an end-to-end data pipeline
It was very streamlined and structured. Three rounds and the first round was the most difficult one, this was followed by a case study and two rounds testing my technical capability followed by a fitment round.
