HR contacted me about the position in late December. First contact was mainly phone screening where recruiter asks you if you are okay with travelling and your salary expectation. After that, you do first round behavioral interview. Second round is a case interview and after that they invite you at their HQ in Chicago for an onsite interview. First round is mainly behavioral interview where you need to be very concise in answering questions. Second round is a watered-down version of a big 3 consulting case interview where not heavy quant is involved but you still need to have an understanding about the business (in my case it was HigherEd).
My overall experience was very nice in terms of people being polite and pleasant. However, regarding the final round, I was disappointed as two of the interviewers were barely looking at my face the whole time and mainly typing my answers on a computer. I wasn't asked any technical question or any test, it was mainly behavioral and not like the first round behavioral questions. I guess they wanted to see if they want to be around you. I had very little to time ask questions at the very end which felt we were rushing to finish the interview. At my first interview on the final round, the lady [director] was asking very broad questions in terms of which role I would prefer to work where there wasn't really any listed role or task available for a Consulting Analyst. After 45 minutes, I was taken to another room for the interview with an individual, manager at Huron. She didn't have a copy of my resume, which I gave mine (already brought 5 copies just in case). She started talking about her role at Huron and started throwing buzz words like API, which later I asked what it stood for and she couldn't answer (I later googled it after the interview and found out that it stands for Application Programming Interface). It was surprising for me as she didn't know this [if a candidate was to throw this buzzword during an interview and interviewer asked what it meant and he/she can’t answer it, I bet most people will reject you]. Anyways, similar to the first interviewer, she typed my answers at a computer. Questions were very generic such as, are you okay with travelling; what would you like to do here; how would you like to receive feedback, etc.
I've been through many interviews and had a consulting internship experience at BCG as well as other industry firm work and I always received a clear feedback on what did go well and what didn't. I was very interested in the role and did detailed research about the job responsibilities but overall very surprised about the decision of not receiving an offer. I thought my both interviews went pretty well, however, about five days later, I received a call that they weren’t extending an offer and happy to share feedback and scheduling a time for it.
I guess they just didn't like me a person overall. I checked other reviews in this platform prior my interviews and several individuals have experienced similar outcomes.
Good luck!
