United StatesPosted Jun 2021 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I interviewed for the Business Analyst role in a more difficult, multi-interview journey that spanned about a week or more between rounds and leaned heavily on interviewer-led cases with substantial back-to-back time.

Round 1 (junior-led, mixed behavioral + case) — Two back-to-back interviews (often ~30–40 minutes) that started with motivation/behavior and then moved into a case.
Final round (many interviews, longer and tougher) — A superday-style set of 4+ back-to-back interviews (often ~40 minutes) mixing behavioral and case; one version noted a Q&A block.
Role laddering — At least one path described an analyst-focused first stage and a manager/principal-heavy second stage, with the overall difficulty higher than other econ consulting firms.
