I applied through college or university. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at ClearView Healthcare Partners (New Haven, CT) in Sep 2014
Interview
Submitted my application through my university career services office. Contacted about 5 days later about an in-person interview (told only about 10 people were interviewed). Interview lasted 30 mins (met with a substitute and not the normal recruitment coordinator, that kind of shook me). Biographical fit questions were pretty standard it seemed, but especially manageable given my background in life science research.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Case was a market share question about a drug. Pretty standard and straightforward (especially if you have previous experience; I did not and just crash studied cases for 3 days and still thought the case to be manageable and got it right). Keep in mind they do keep your "jotting notes" paper and also expect you to bring your own.
I interviewed at ClearView Healthcare Partners (London, England)
Interview
2 case interviews 2 behavioural interviews and a scientific discussion. Pretty long and hard process. Case interviews were better than the behavioural ones for some reason which is quite strange and rare
I applied online. I interviewed at ClearView Healthcare Partners
Interview
Awful, disrespectful, and pretty reflective of the issues I read about on Glassdoor. From the start of the interview, my interviewer sounded like she thought she had better things to do and even outright stated "I don't even understand why you want to work here". After that interview, I definitely don't...

Question 1
Describe a negative feedback loop for a new medication treating breast cancer
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at ClearView Healthcare Partners in Oct 2018
Interview
40 mins of interview comprised of 20 behavioral +20 case.
behavioral
1. walk me through your resume
2. why clearview
3. what potential challenge you can think of transitioning from a science background to a consulting world
4. a specific question in my resume (what do you think are the alternative treatment for Parkinson's disease other than L-dopa--> gene therapy--> how likely do you think gene therapy will be available on the market in the near future?)
Case:
a private equity company is considering acquiring a small biotech firm, which currently develops drug X (clinical trial III) that manages post-op pain. What is your advice to the company?
The interviewer was really good at giving me feedback and hinted me when I stuck. She had to cut me off because the answer sort of entered an impasse. However, she provided suggestions on how to solve the case in the end.
