Interviewing

Interviewing

Our interviews let you showcase your experience. They're designed for us to get to know each other and we provide all candidates the same questions for each role to reduce bias. You'll get a feel for the work and your colleagues, and we'll get a sense for what you excel at. If that all sounds like a lot, don’t worry. They’re fun.

WHAT WE LOOK FOR

We look for curious problem-lovers

We look for people who are ambitious about helping clients and stakeholders—internal or external—achieve results. And that ambition can be the quiet kind. We want people who are intellectually curious, entrepreneurial, and who find challenges exciting. In some roles, we’ll ask about your analytical skills, whereas in other roles, we'll ask to see how you present and persuade. In all cases, we look for people who can explain why they want to join us specifically.

TYPES OF INTERVIEWS

Your interviews will be customized to your role

All interviews are designed to help you showcase the skills you’ll need to succeed in the role.

Your interviews will be customized to your role. Some roles will include at least one behavioural interview, while other interviews may incorporate behavioural questions to gain deeper insight into your way of thinking and how you approach different work, academic, or personal challenges, by reflecting on past experiences. You probably won't encounter a case interview unless applying for a consulting role.

Applying for a consulting role?

You'll likely complete a case interview, which is when you work through an actual client problem with assistance. We look for whether you can make sensible assumptions, do quick math, and build constructively on others’ ideas. These resources provide a sense for the types of problems you'll encounter.
