I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at ZS Associates (Gurgaon, Haryana) in Jun 2017
Interview
I applied through referral and there were basically 5 rounds :
Round 1: Written - Online Aptitude test comprising of 60 question, average cutoff 45+.
Round 2: Telephonic : that round was just for formality i guess,just to see how firm a person is willing to join them.
Round 3:Case Study- In this round they give a case study with lot of data and graphs followed by a discussion with a senior.
Round 4: Behavioral round -They usually ask some guesstimates and puzzles.Stay smart in this round, its make or break here.
Round 5: This round is called Fit Interview round where you meet a senior principal their and he usually taps your zeal of joining the firm.
Interview questions [4]
Question 1
How many NCERT Maths books for 12th is sold in Delhi every year?
The interviews were calm and welcoming. I completed a 30-minute case, a 60-minute case, and an extended fit interview. Overall, it was a valuable learning experience that helped me understand the firm’s expectations and improve my problem-solving and communication skills.
Three interviews in total. HR screening was first, then a behavioral/structured case a week later, and then an unstructured case a week after that. Talk to 2 different interviewers other than HR, and may have had more interviews in the future, but not sure!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
General questions like why ZS, why Data Analytics, etc. Structured case was about a fake company and had a lot of associated graphs that you just talked through. Unstructured was similar but no graphs and was just based off your thinking through of a problem.
I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at ZS Associates (Pune) in Sep 2023
Interview
First we had online test which had 2-3 rounds one for aptitude, english and case study respectively then 2 rounds of interview, one of case study and another about resume. Overall it was very engaging.
