      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at ZS Associates (Evanston, IL) in Oct 2014

      Interview

      Two weeks after I submitted my application I was offered a first round interview by email. First Interview (Phone Interview): It consisted of a 30 minute behavioral interview with one person. There were three standard questions and the rest of the time is left for you to ask questions. Then, there is a 30 minute case interview via a screen share application. I started a little late because it took a while to download the add-in. There are four slides with tables of data and some questions. I needed to have general knowledge of the pharmaceutical industry (common sense) and know about market share, sales force, revenue, gross margin etc. I was nervous about this part because of my engineering background. There is also a part you have to qualitatively look at data and explain your thought process for choosing one group over another. I actually calculated the wrong things, and the interviewer steered me back to the question I was supposed to answer. I was nervous that I was not following directions, but I was able to calculate the correct values. You should use Excel for the case. HR called me two business days after the interview offering to fly me to the nearest office. They give feedback, and HR told me my interviewers really liked me. Second Interview (Nearest Office): There were three other people being interviewed that day for the same position. First, we were greeted by the recruiter in the lobby. Everyone had interviews in a different order but with some of the same people. Every section of the interview was 40 minutes. I had a standard behavioral interview with a principal. Next, I had to prep a case, which was similar to the ones given in the first interview but more in depth. I was not able to finish it, but I think that was expected. Then, I discussed the case with a manager, which was supposed to be a mock discussion in a team meeting or at lunch with a client. After, I had a demo where a BAA showed me what a typical project was for someone in the position. I recommend being very attentive and asking intelligent questions because he asked specific questions to make sure I was smart and absorbing what he was talking about. Next, I had an analytical case interview with a principal. This is a standard business case interview, so I would definitely practice a lot beforehand. My question was about what would you think about when building a home improvement store in a metropolitan area. Then, I had lunch with a consultant and was given a tour of the office. Overall, the second interview was chaotic and unprofessional. They printed the wrong case, so it ruined the timing of everything else for everyone visiting that day. One of the interviewees had to prep in two different periods, which shortened her lunch. Someone was listed on my schedule to take me to lunch, so I was confused when a different person did. The person who took me to lunch was supposed to give me a tour of the office but didn't seem to know that. HR came out and realized what had happened, and someone they seemed to retrieve last minute gave me my tour. I had a lot of stuff because I brought homework to do at the hotel, and I am pretty sure someone said a snarky comment about how much stuff I had. Even if I was given an offer, I am not sure if I would have taken it because of this experience.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at ZS Associates (New Delhi) in May 2018

      Interview

      There were 4 rounds. The first was an aptitude test which was held on campus(DTU) Selected students had to report to Gurgaon Office for Case study round followed by 2 F2F Interviews. The aptitude round was not tough, basic quant, reasoning and verbal questions. However, the Case study was very tough. We had to write the solutions and present analysis on a separate sheet of paper within half an hour. (Try to read the entire case at least even if you don't solve them because you end up solving the entire caselet again with the interviewer.) F2F Interviews were generic cv based questions followed by a guesstimate and a puzzle. The last round was with Partner round. Behavioral questions, guesstimate and a puzzle was asked, lasted for more than 1.5 hours.

      Interview

      Purely looking for quantitative and analytical skills, your approach towards a problem, your communication skills and answers to questions like why analyst why ZS, what do we do. How could your experience be useful for us

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      I went through 3 rounds. 1st was a case study interview where in we were give a data set and 4 questions based on it. Interviewer asked what I understood from the question, my answer and my understanding of the data sets. He was helping wherever I was getting stuck and overall he looked for the approach. 2nd round was a telephonic interview where I was asked the puzzles and guesstimate. I was asked like how many tennis balls can fill an airplane. Puzzles - classic three ants at three vertices of an equilateral triangle. And another one was, there are 10 steps, you can take 1, 2 or combination of both steps at time then how many ways can you climb up. Then general questions about yourself and why ZS, you are from technical background then why analyst. The last round was with a senior manager who asked basic HR questions like why do you think you will be successful in ZS and asked me some puzzles.
