I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at CFGI
Interview
They have the typical HR screening, followed by a peer, 2 leadership conversations, and a case study. However, for me, the process itself isn’t well designed, and the team (including recruiting) have a low investment approach towards candidates’ experience. They initiated the interview process with me but never answered the questions of what function or level I was interviewing for. Post partner conversation they requested a case study but didn’t provide detail on how the case will be evaluated (in absence of a presentation), or clarified questions to ground the case. In an environment where some companies disguise case study for free consulting, it’s critical to protect candidates’ IP and time investment from both sides. To request a candidate to complete a case when there’s no JD, or objective/evaluation criteria aligned to the case, the recruiting process is structureless and in some ways, without a regard for everyone’s time and effort.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Mostly standard behavioral questions but when you ask them what they do, it’s hard to get a clear picture of how their practice is organized nor how they go-to-market.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at CFGI (New York, NY) in Jan 2025
Interview
There was an initial Phone call with their recruiting team for 30 minutes, followed by in 2 person interviews with leadership team about a week apart. Followed by the offer from the recruiting team.
