Why Work Here
Getting Hired Here
- “Typically, candidates go through a round of resume screening, and then move on to a HireVue assessment. The firm invites a shortlist of candidates to one or two rounds of interviews, which typically consist of two cases as well as a personal interview. The candidates learn whether they’ll receive an offer or not very soon after their interviews.”
- “The interview process is straightforward, and the callback process is also pretty quick. The firm is seeking candidates who have strong logical thinking skills, as well as those who are structured thinkers. However, at the same time, we’re also looking for people who are easy going and can work with different people given the nature of the industry.”
- “The ideal candidate is logical, numerate, able to spot trends and patterns, articulate, organized, and has a can-do, positive attitude to life and work.”
- “We look for candidates that are great problem solvers and communicators, who can share their thought process in a structured way.”
