EAB Senior Analyst interview questions

Had three rounds of interviews: Got contacted by HR within a week of submitting an online application and the initial phone screen was the typical resume review and logistics questions. Two weeks later another person from the HR team reached out to invite me to the next round, which is a 90-min writing test and a case interview on the phone with a consultant. A week after that I was invited to come in for in-person interviews, which involved two case interviews with three consultants total and a 15-min IQ test. Be prepared for hypothetical case scenarios and problem solving evaluation. Everyone I've communicated and met with throughout the whole process was very friendly, respectful and professional. The overall experience was good. Would definitely apply again but I feel the place was filled with either new college graduates in liberal arts majors or EAB/Advisory Board Company lifers (folks who have never worked at anywhere else). The company didn't seem to have much diversity either. I haven't really met any non-white staff members and the consultants definitely seem all white. This was a bit concerning especially since they are dealing with the higher education sector where diversity has been emphasized more than ever.

I had to have 5 interviews and a writing sample over the course of 3-4 months. It felt like a lot and if something else had worked out earlier, I would not have gone with EAB, despite liking the company a lot. Be prepared for behavioral and case interviews.
