Blue Ridge Partners Associate interview questions

The process went very quickly, which is great in this day and age. I had one interview, then an online assessment, and then a case interview which was analyzing excel data and then filling in a presentation. The case interview was more excel heavy than I expected so I took longer on that than I wanted to and didn’t have the best presentation. Everyone that I spoke with was nice and direct.

1) Screening phone call with recruiter: A few basic behavioral questions (why consulting, why Blue Ridge), followed by casual chat about the firm. No curve balls. 2) Online logic test: 2 hour test covering logic, reasoning, and decision making skills 3) In-person group case interview: We were a group of 8 candidates who met in NYC for a group case interview, about 5 hours long. Mine was attended by the co-founder/partner, 2 MDs, and 1 Manager. You do two cases. In the first case we were given the same materials and asked to answer the same questions in front of the group. In the second case, we were given the same materials but handled different workstreams. You work on your individual workstream before coming together with the team to create a final recommendation. I received an offer the next day from the recruiter. Very quick turnaround and responsive team. The whole process took less than two weeks.
