I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Sendero (Dallas, TX) in Mar 2018
Interview
Attended career fair on campus and was invited to apply online after the career fair (this is like first round so leave a good impression at career fair to be invited).
A week later was invited for next round: two 1:1 interviews (plus writing excerpt) on my campus, 45 minutes each asking a series of behavior based, why consulting and why Sendero questions.
After a week I was invited for a final round interview in Dallas at their brand new office:
(Before the Interview day you are invited to a dinner with some associates and other candidates.)
Interview day:
> Manager Round: Behavioral based interview focusing on fit into their culture.
> Senior Manager Round: Behavior based interview and a case portion (given 10 minutes to evaluate and formulate an analysis).
> Partner Round: Basic explanation of Sendero's culture and to see if you are a good fit.
(Following the three rounds, you have a 1:1 lunch with an analyst testing your ability to hold a conversation and test your fit with company culture.)
If you haven't gotten it from the process above, this company cares a lot about culture and fit. So do your best to be yourself (genuine) and be relatable because that is what makes the people at Sendero great.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
A ton of behavior based questions, make sure to have concrete examples ready that will showcase your work ethic, integrity and leadership abilities.
The interview process for Sendero at an associate level was very straightforward and simple. There were 2 back to back meetings that were behavioral and then a case in person at their HQ.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Sendero (Dallas, TX) in Sept 2025
Interview
Started with a brief screening call, and then did a 1 hour virtual behavioral interview with one manager. She asked about 5-6 behavioral questions. Then, I was asked to come in person for another behavioral interview. It was the same format as the virtual interview, and some of the questions were the same. I did not have a case study in any of my interviews. Make sure to be conversational. They want good answers, but they really want to know you are a culture fit. Make sure to start by genuinely trying to get to know your interviewer and answer your questions honestly and with the STAR structure. It's really straightforward and they want you to succeed.
