I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at ZS Associates (Princeton, NJ) in Apr 2011
Interview
Phone screen done by HR person and then 2 rounds of interviews in person with managers and partners within the organization. Good opportunity to meet other individuals at the same level as well. Another consultant took me out to lunch and that was really helpful. THe consultant had a very similar background to me, likely chosen by design.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Case analysis with presentation of materials. when I interviewed it was done on transparencies but now I believe it is ppt.
Communication round , first it was a aptitude test round which was online. I was able to clear that one but miss the verbal communication round. The reviews I heard for the company were great and nice. Missed opportunity
Long interview process. Pleasant people to talk to. Very straightforward and reasonable. Interview was similar to many large consulting firms. Was extended and offer for an offer with a relocation package. Ultimately decided that it was not right for me at this time.
