I applied through university. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at ZS Associates (Ithaca, NY) in Oct 2009
Interview
The company seems to have a positive work environment and general positive atmosphere. The interview consisted of a 1:1 behavioral portion for 30 minutes followed by a 30 minute 1:1 skills assessment. Anyone with a basic economics background should be able to answer the questions although there were a few tricks to them.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why do you think we are different from other consulting firms?
Communication round , first it was a aptitude test round which was online. I was able to clear that one but miss the verbal communication round. The reviews I heard for the company were great and nice. Missed opportunity
Long interview process. Pleasant people to talk to. Very straightforward and reasonable. Interview was similar to many large consulting firms. Was extended and offer for an offer with a relocation package. Ultimately decided that it was not right for me at this time.
