I applied online. I interviewed at ZS Associates (Boston, MA) in Jul 2025
Interview
Interview process was pretty quick - I had a screening call with a TA specialist and then a week later a blended case study. I was told I wasn't selected to move forward in the process even though my interviewer told me I had done a great job with the case study.

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about yourself, why ZS, tell me about a time when you were given conflicting information and had to make a decision
Recruiter call pretty focused on your resume so know it like the back of your hand. After asking me his questions, recruiter spent some of the time describing ZS - 90% life sciences sector, 10% tech, transportation, energy, etc. Talked about onboarding (ZStart) and gave me some pearls on what they talk about in hiring meetings - what candidates mostly fall short on.
