Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Process is not very professional. Recruitment team is clueless to basic questions on the role and the whole coordinating process was not good.

First round with the hiring manager who is the associate partner and my conversation went well. He warned that the role will be hectic and high pressure. Second round round was with the partner, who was really empathetic and knowledgeable.

I was told that the third round will be f2f a day prior with a partner from another vertical at 3:30. I took half day leave reached around 2:45 and was ready. The hr took me in at 3:15 to which the partner says I was late. I told him I’m not and I was in fact early to which he said no no it’s scheduled at 3. Anyway interview as such went okay.

The end result after 8 days when I followed up with the hr, I was told that 3rd round wasn’t positive. Extremely strange and no feedback was given.

Being from the big 4, this was really a pathetic experience in terms of the process and candidate experience.

Work Atmosphere- Their office was modern but the employees looked sad. As I found my way to the exit, I requested an employee to open the access gate. He said I’m not allowed to.

Totally understandable that 100s get interviewed and are not selected. But for the effort the candidate puts in a basic regret or a one line simple feedback (role/skill mismatch,etc) should be practiced.

I applied via Approached by Company and was interviewed in May 2022. There were 4 interview rounds.

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Interview
Experience: My first interview started on the age old note of, “tell me something about yourself.” It proceeded through a few more questions to a case study of estimating the number of marriages in India per year.

Round: Interview
Experience: I fell for THE FRAMEWORK which is not the best thing to happen during a case study but thanks to the interviewer that I recovered and did a satisfactory job. In my second interview it was again some HR questions followed by the case about increasing the viewership of channel V. It being one of the very few channels I ever watched I did good justice to this case.

Round: Interview
Experience: My next interviewer jumped directly to a case which involved the cutting down of time spent in a medical procedure. Here, some of my Robin Cook novels and the series ‘Lost’ came to help and I was able to think in a medical fashion providing suggestions which the interviewer regarded to be good. But well, looks like I was destined to go for more interviews. So, a halfhearted goodbye Mckinsey.
