I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Mu Sigma (Austin, TX) in Mar 2017
Interview
It was a joke. Just a video call, and the interview had delayed our interview by two days because of an emergency.
Before I did the web video interview I had to do a online test where I submitted timed responses to some free response questions, as well as a timed essay and a small math test.
That part was okay, not too bad at all. The actual interview was a mere conversation. They needed hires to come to India because so many had gotten the offer to do the Columbus program but many declined.
The interview was pretty straightforward. It consisted of 3 rounds. The first round was to fill out a questionnaire describing how you would tackle on certain business cases. The second round was a recorded video interview in which you a specific business case was given to you and had to think on the fly to answer it. The third was a video interview with the recruiter where again they ask you behavioral and business case questions.
I interviewed for Mu Sigma in January 2020. The entire process took about 3 weeks. You first complete an online test that has 3 sections. The first section is taking a video of yourself answering various questions, then there is a multiple choice section and a case study. After passing the online test, they set up a video interview. Then there was an HR interview a few days later. The HR interview was when they extended the offer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you explain the PGA program to somebody else?
Sent out resume online, got the link to online test the next day, took 40+ minutes to complete. The online test includes behavior questions and quantitative reasoning. Some of the questions are like what do you know about India, what does Mu Sigma do, etc.
