I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at ZS Associates in Feb 2008
Interview
For the internship hiring process, the first round interviews consisted of 2 half hour interviews. One part was behavioral and the other was a case. They were scheduled back to back, with a separate person conducting each one. The people were friendly and pretty easy going during the interviews. The behavioral questions were pretty standard. Nothing too surprising.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The case question was the most difficult part for me. It involved various aspects of introducing a new drug to market, including R&D costs, market sizing, and other points to consider. The interviewer guides you through one step at a time.
The case study round for a ZS Associates Project Management Associate involves a written case study on market scenarios, followed by a discussion interview to assess your problem-solving and analytical skills. You'll typically have a limited time to read and analyze a business case with graphs, then answer questions based on it. The discussion round is crucial, where you explain your approach and reasoning, even if you couldn't answer every question, as a logical approach is valued over perfect answers
