After a first reach-out on LinkedIn, I went through a structured process that felt fairly standard for consulting roles. I started with a pre-selection chat with the recruiter, then moved into interviews with the hiring team, including a technical conversation with an expert. The sequence ended with a final discussion with the commercial side and/or the agency director.
What stood out most was the mix of assessment and culture fit. The recruiter round covered the role and what the company expected, and the conversations with leaders focused on motivations and values, plus how the work might evolve. The technical portion was framed around BI competence, with the expert probing for my skills rather than trick questions.

Easy Negative London, England
I applied through the company’s official LinkedIn page and heard back quickly. The first step was a friendly HR screening that lasted about 30–60 minutes, and it felt less like an interrogation and more like a conversation to understand the role.
A week later I moved to a technical interview with a consultant. It ran 30–60 minutes and focused on a stream of syntax-style questions, roughly in the 10–15 range, where the topics covered Alteryx, SQL, and Qlik Sense. The format was very hands-on: I remember grinding through the technical prompts and trying to keep my answers tight.
