Entrevista
I met a current employee at a college career fair. The initial process consisted of a phone screen, followed by a logic test, then another phone screen followed by a programming test, which consisted of a SQL query problem.
1. Phone screening: 30 mins; asked some standard background questions and asked to describe a technical project I worked on
2. "Logic Test": 3 HOURS; number puzzles, some easy, some very complicated. Took a lot of focus and energy, especially given that it took me 2.5 hours. You have a max of 3 hours to complete it. I don't see how the types of problems measure your aptitude for technical consulting. After 3.5 hours have now been put in, I cannot believe there is more to the process.
After the logic test, the recruiter said he was "impressed with my candidacy" and wants to continue. However, he explained they are finishing the hiring process in the summer, I did the first part of the interview in winter! He said he'd follow up with me in Spring.
Seriously? Why not tell me this before I put 3.5 hours in?
This company needs to work on their hiring process and measures for aptitude. The logic test seemed very irrelevant to consulting. And based off of other reviews I've seen, apparently you have to also complete a programming project and in-person interviews. I don't think anyone should put in over 4 hours unpaid.

Annoying process. First was an over-the-phone interview. This was fine and easy, mostly get to know you type questions. Second was the Logic Test + Programming Test. These were time-consuming and frankly annoying to deal with. After that was ANOTHER phone interview, after which I was told that they would not continue the interview process.
