I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at GEP (Clark, NJ) in Nov 2017
Interview
1st phone interview with a manager, some basic resume questions and a simple case. 2nd phone interview with another manager, again going over resume and a quick brain teaser. Then there is a whole day of onsite interviews, where you get to meet some consultants from GEP, have formal/informal Q&A sessions, and interviews back to back. The first interview I had was a group case interview with other potential hires. Then there were multiple interviews (behavioral, case, brain teasers) with consultants, managers, and finally someone from HR. The process is geared towards understanding how you think, rather than trying to make you feel stressed out about getting to a specific answer. Everyone I met along the way was great -- they were really attentive, friendly, and welcoming. The turnaround for all emails and responses were super quick. Also a great company with an amazing outlook of business. Definitely recommend to anyone who wants to go into consulting, but in a more specialized field!

Question 1
Why are you interested in GEP?
Why procurement consulting?
Applied in November. Multiple rounds including online assessment, HR call, language test, case study. Interviewers were professional and friendly. Overall interview process stretched a bit due to holidays. Would recommend applying.

Question 1
Normal HR questions. Case study based on a scenario in a specific industry.
Easy interview first round. On-campus interview asked a basic market sizing/profitability case. Nice interviewers.
Superday had an easy market sizing portion, easy behavioral. Standard consulting. Last case in superday was difficult, I believe it was profitability and market entry. Interviewers were willing to help you though.
Never got a response after my superday, company just totally ghosted. Would be nice to get a rejection email after doing 4 interviews but what can ya do. Liked the people but the general consensus among them seems to be that its a mid tier firm and most ppl leave after a few years. Those who stay get rewarded.
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at GEP (Mumbai) in Oct 2024
Interview
Cases and Guesstimates were asked alongside puzzles similar to CAT level DILR questions, imp topics included - permutation and combinations , primary interviewer led. The interviewer gave me answers to all questions immediately and asked just the reasoning.
