2 phone calls, IQ test online (insulting), in person interview. Everyone was nice, but their examples of case studies were pretty lame. If this is how they screen their candidates then I don't know how they stay in business. Some even seemed jealous of my experience.

Pretty odd and unprofessional. At first, the interview process started pretty straight forward. It started off with a phone screen and a very easy IQ/attention to detail test. The next round is a one on one case interview via skype which is pretty basic. The final round is a five hour day with two behavioral interviews, three case interviews, and a 15 presentation on a subject of your choice. I went through the phone screen and the IQ tests which were pretty easy. Upon the skype interview though - the interview called me thirty minutes early and offered no explanation. Overall he was kind of weird and made rude and odd faces when I was presenting him with my logic. He was somewhat standoffish. I made it to the final round but the day before my interview C1 canceled it to reschedule. Nobody ever reached out to me to finish up the process and I ended up taking an offer with a different company.

It was very easy-- I had an initial phone interview with general HR questions. Then there was an online exam with very simple math and grammar questions. Finally a skype interview with a small case study involving market sizing and looking at a few graphs. Unfortunately company was sold before the final round of interview

On-campus recruiting -> resume screen -> phone interview -> online assessment -> Skype case study -> in-person interview. Phone interview: approximately one half-hour of standard interview questions. "Why do you want to be a consultant?" - "Describe your ability to work in teams." - "Describe a time you failed and what you learned from it." Online assessment: easy test battery (timed) with basic math and verbal questions. Skype case study: Roughly an hour long qualitative case study specific to C1 industry. In-person interview: Two hour long behavioral interviews followed by half hour lunch with team, followed by two hour long case studies (one qualitative, one quantitative. Finished with half-hour presentation on topic of my choosing.

Skype interview with recruiting specialist followed by an online assessment (three parts: verbal, quantitative, attention to detail). The online assessment is timed, finish the three sections as quick as possible.

Interview was through campus recruiting. They took about 1 week to send me an email that they were interested, and then we set up a Skype interview. I was fairly excited. However, the interviewer did not turn on their Skype camera, so we essentially just had a poor vocal connection with no image. The interview took about 45 minutes, and was focused on both programming and statistics. The interviewer, although nice, was very hard to understand. The questions were not terribly difficult, but did require some thought. By the end however, the interviewer seemed as if they wanted to get on with their day. They answered my questions with "it depends", and were not descriptive. Based on the other Glassdoor ratings, I'm not shocked. I had the feeling that the position was filled, and that they wasted 45 minutes of my time.

1. Phone screening interview conducted by the recruiter to go over my resume, ask about my interests, and career aspirations. 2. Skype interview conducted by a manager going over a case with some basic analysis and a few behavioral questions. 3. In-person interview conducted by pretty much everyone in the office: A. Some exercises on the computer to test my technical skills. B. Behavioral interview with a consultant and another analyst. C. Lunch where I had the opportunity to meet everyone in the office and ask questions. D. Behavioral interview with a senior consultant. E. Presentation conducted by me on a subject of my choice to a small group of consultants and analysts. F. Case interview with a consultant and a few logistical questions by the recruiter. Everyone was friendly and I felt like there was a strong emphasis on cultural fit.

First round was a phone call, it took around 15 minutes, just basic questions about your background. Waited for a really long time to hear back from them. Second round was a written test and simple case.

First interview was an introductory phone conversation with fit questions for up to 30 min. The second interview was done through skype and included a small set of behavior questions and a few slides of a hypothetical case. The final interview was on-site for nearly 5 hours with a 2-hour case study and presentation to the office. HR is responsive up until they
