Manager at North Highland
Accepted Offer – Reviewed Mar 11, 2013
Interview Details – Phone screen with HR, then with leadership. Had lunch with HR. Three-four in person interviews. Took a personality test. Got an offer. Took longer than I expected.
Interview Question – Nothing really. Standard interview questions for the most part. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – Not a lot of negotiation. I was told by the person that gave me my offer that it was about the best they could do. I've had heard from others that there would be little room for negotiation. I asked for a little bit more and got it, but that was it.

Senior Manager at North Highland
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Dallas, TX – Reviewed Nov 20, 2012
Interview Details – We generally find almost all of our new hires through referrals. If you know of someone who works for North Highland, they can probably pass your resume along to the right person. It seems like we are almost always hiring and if you are willing to go the city where the work is, and have the right experience, you'll almost certainly get an interview out of it.
Interview Question – This wasn't really an issue for me. I thought the interview was fairly normal and I interviewed with 2-3 people before they made an offer. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – There wasn't much negotiation. I thought it was fair and accepted.

Senior Manager at North Highland
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Houston, TX Nov 2008 – Reviewed Oct 10, 2012
Interview Details – The people in the company are really great. I lacked trust in the local leadership of the Houston Office. At the beginning of my time with the company there was a real feeling of ownership at all levels of the team. As new leadership came in, it began to feel more like and Accenture Office...you were only included in decisions/leadership if you were a Pricipal or above. The hiring process included three interviews and some light personality testing.
Interview Question – Required an experience where I had sold business in a consulting environment, which was limited for me. View Answer
Negotiation Details – There was not much that could be done to the salary bands for any role, but I negotiated a start-up bonus net $5,000.

Senior Consultant at North Highland
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Atlanta, GA Feb 2011 – Reviewed Aug 17, 2012
Interview Details – The process is by design long and slow. We ensure that applicants considered for employment are qualified and most importantly the right fit for our culture and values. The team dynamic and atmosphere is one of the most important traits that we provide for our clients, and this is validated through our hiring. 3-4 interviews face to face before an applicant meets with a hiring VP who has final say, based upon the needs of the office and the skill sets available.
Interview Question – How does North Highland fit into your career goals and aspirations. Answer Question

Management Consultant at North Highland
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Arlington, VA Jan 2011 – Reviewed Feb 13, 2012
Interview Details – Long interview process - initially presented to management team along with all other candidates. This was followed by numerous phone interviews, then 1:1 in person interview (2-3 months in at this point). When recommended to go forward asked to complete intelligence, and personality tests and then come in for series of 1:1 interviews with different purposes of each. This was followed by offer - only about a week after completing testing and interviews. Interview were all "friendly"; people spoken with seemed to have sincere interest in getting to know candidate. Culture and office environment very similar to major consulting firms with main difference of client/engagement focus being local.
Interview Questions
- Phone interview questions tended to be specific to details of experience relevant to firm's project needs Answer Question
- In person 1:1 interviews were more conversational. Interview geared to personality fit more specific situational questions Answer Question
Negotiation Details – Compensation structure is very complex with numerous bonus opportunities employees are expected to achieve that supplement base salary. if there is basis for negotiation one should do so. Firm will decide level at time of offer but seems interest is for prospective employee to be satisfied and feel right with offer so they will accept.

Senior Consultant at North Highland
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Charlotte, NC Jan 2011 – Reviewed Oct 31, 2011
Interview Details –
The interview process consisted of two meetings with current North Highland employees on two separate projects, a personality test and an aptitude test. There was no case study. All of these were fairly straightforward.
Advice I would give to others would be to become very familiar with the culture of North Highland as the interviews are generally personality interviews instead of interviews to asses your skills (as people generally are found via referrals so it's assumed the skills are there). In addition, ask lots of questions about the various accounts and roles you may fill within these accounts as these can vary widely. It's often not been decided what role you will fill at the point of the interview, so become as familiar as you can with all of your options at the time of the interview.
Interview Question – Because most of the new business within North Highland is generated through existing accounts or employee connections, many questions will be asked about your comfort level leveraging your network. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – There is really very little salary negotiation with North Highland, which is something that's brought up (or at least it was with me) during the interview phase. Just make sure you have a good understanding of what you will really receive in salary, bonus and stock options. I've found that these can be often be inflated by the person presenting the offer. Some key questions to ask are what number of hours per week are required to acheive the "sample" bonus presented, how the various sales bonuses can be earned and how the company performance bonus is calculated.
