I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Guidehouse in Oct 2022
Interview
I had three interviews (managing consultant, director, and partner) in the span of 2 weeks, all behavioral questions. Everyone was nice, answered my questions, most interviews felt more like a conversation than an actual interview. It’s been two weeks since my last interview though and no word from the recruiter even after following up. Wish they had the decency to at least tell me I didn’t get the role instead of ghosting me.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Common behavioral questions: tell me about a time you had a conflict, how do you problem solve, your role in a team, etc.
Process very thorough but demanding. Left me on the hook between rounds and then I was treated like an “compliance interview” by the final round. Interviewer was extremely disinterested and seemed to already have their mind made up. The recruiters are disorganized. This place is a joke.
1R technical presentation + 1R behavioral
2R traditional casing interview + 2R behavioral
They give you a prompt for technical presentation prep a week before the interview. For 2R it's a traditional casing interview that gives you a case on the spot. 1R behavioral was with a director, 2R was with a partner at the firm.
They were very professional and prompt, easy to coordinate and clear questions. The process made sense and I got plenty of time to ask questions of my own. I interviewed with two different people.
