La procedura ha richiesto 2 giorni. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso ZS Associates nel mese di apr 2011
Colloquio
very flexible wrt interview timing.
First round was one 1:1 interview, a bit of fit and a small OR-type case
Second round a few weeks later started with them asking for background info you would expect at the offer stage (very odd).
Then there was one session where an existing employee explained a project, followed by 3 interviews:
a written case with subsequent presentation in front of 2 interviewers, then two 1:1 with partners, one fit-focussed, one case-focussed.
Nice people overall, but make sure you click with the senior partner (i.e., hiring manager) ;-)

For 1st round, make sure you know what sales force optimization is (hint, hint)
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

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.
