      Strategy Insights & Planning Associate Interview

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at ZS Associates in Nov 2017

      Interview

      You can only apply through the online application form. Before applying you are prompted to submit a full disclosure of your current income and an overview of your financial details for the past 5 (!) years. This may or may not be normal practice in the US but in Japan this is not an acceptable question to ask. It violates one's privacy and certainly isn't relevant at the start of your application. I concluded three things: 1) the ZS hiring process does not match the markets they're active in 2) this will most likely be the case for their market strategies as well 3) your salary will be based on what you did for your previous employer and does not reflect your value to ZS I canceled the application.

      Três etapas online: Behavioral interview, Structured case interview, Analytic interview. Apenas a primeira em inglês. As duas últimas envolviam o entendimento e a resolução de cases em que o entrevistador ia revelando mais infos conforme você "resolvia" o que ele perguntava em cada momento,

      Application

      I interviewed at ZS Associates (South San Francisco, CA)

      Interview

      It was pretty straightforward. Started with a recruiter phone screen, then proceeded to another basic case, then two more cases after that and an interview with one of the partners. They were all very kind.
