I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at ZS Associates (Princeton, NJ) in Jul 2020
Interview
Applied through a employee referral. The recruiter contacted me within one week to set up an initial 30 minutes screening. She got back within 2 days to schedule the next round with one of the senior member in the team. Since this was for big data, the entire interview was focused on big data questions and my experience. He also asked few hypothetical behavioral questions.
Then I was moved to final round which was remote onsite due to covid-19. It consisted of 4 rounds. 1st was with principal/partner, 2nd was an informal discussion with another BTA who joined a year back, 3rd was a case study round for which I was given 30 minutes to prepare and 40 minutes to walk the interviewer through my case study. The last round was a deep dive interview in which I was asked couple of sql questions and also few big data questions.
They got back with an offer within 1 week
Lengthy and time consuming but process is very good nothing casual and systematic I cleared 3 rounds and in the last round I didn't get positive feedback. So process was nice but we can't say how they judge you even in the last round and reject you.
