Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: Essex Lake had a diverse shortlist unlike other consulting companies which had repetitive names.

Round: Round 1
Experience: The first round was a face to face interview and involved 2 puzzles and 2 short case interviews .
Tips: For the puzzle, try to think out loudly to let the interviewer know what you are thinking and what your approach would be. This would benefit you even if you reached to the wrong answer as the interviewer can still judge you on your thinking process. For the cases, practice as many cases as you can beforehand so that you can be confident and quick at the crucial moment.

Round: Round 2
Experience: The second round was a telephonic interview which started with few HR questions and ended with a puzzle.
Tips: For the HR, try to be as confident as you can as it will sound more convincing and you'll stutter less in your speech, and always be true to yourself. For the puzzle, thinking out loud is very crucial so that the interviewer can follow your approach and assist you wherever needed. Again if you reach to the wrong conclusion, the interviewer can still judge you for your approach.

Round: round 3
Experience: The third round was a telephonic HR round which was mainly focused on my convincing skills, my knowledge about the company and my urge to get the job.
Tips: Prepare your answers well so that you can flawlessly answer the interviewer.

Round: round 4
Experience: The last round was a telephonic HR round. This round was relatively chilled out with a normal friendly conversation with the interviewer.
Tips: Know your resume thoroughly as you can be asked about anything from it.

Skills: Ability To Convince, Confidence, Quick Thinking, Ability To Think Of Creative Solutions, 1)communication
College Name: IIT Kharagpur

Experience: Everyone who applied for the company were allowed to give the test. The test was in similar lines as that of CAT (Quant, DI, LR and stuff).

The interview started with some HR questions and they started asking me stuff to test my problem solving skills like the questions that I mentioned in this section. Later, moved on to ask about my experience at the internship and started walking through my resume for some more questions.
Tips: Just be honest and try not to panic if you don't have the solution immediately. Take a 10 second break if need to think (Trust me, this small break goes a long way if you happen to get stuck somewhere)

Round: HR Interview
Experience: Out the 7, they shortlisted 5 for the 2nd round of Interview. This one was very typical to the HR round. Asked me about my hobbies and went in detail for each one of them and then about my future career plans.

General Tips: Be patient. Irrespective of the number of interviews you give, you will eventually get the job that suits you the best.
