I applied online. I interviewed at Propeller (Portland, OR) in Feb 2017
Interview
I applied online. I received an email and scheduled a phone interview. On the call, the interviewer seemed rather cold and formal, which surprised me considering the brand and glassdoor posts I read in advance. We spoke over a number of questions related to my previous experience, motivation for applying, how I would respond to different sort of vague and hypothetical scenarios as a consultant, my beliefs about my strengths and weaknesses, and if I had any questions. I found the process to be rather conventional and perhaps just didn't connect well with the interviewer, but I think both sides came away from the conversation with little desire to continue the conversation. I felt somewhat disappointed in the distant feeling I left the conversation with.

How Do You Identify Leaders Within An Organization?
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Propeller
Interview
Either the interviewers are liars, hypocrites, or both. The company is lost and can't offer competitive market rates.
I crushed all four interviews and case studies. They tried very hard to find something wrong with my answers, but fell short and floundered.
Just like what the other interviewees stated on this site, they will ask if you want feedback and then ghost you.

Question 1
1. A company has missed deadlines, and vendors and leadership relationships are fractured. How would you fix it.
I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Propeller (Portland, OR) in Jun 2025
Interview
Exactly as described on their website. Prompt to send scheduling invites and quick follow up after first 2 rounds. Follow up from 3rd round took about 10 days and they declined to bring me in for a case study. The first 3 interviews seemed to go very well, so I was surprised. The “decline” email invited me to reply if I wanted to ask for specific feedback. Since the decline took me by surprise, I really wanted the feedback, so I replied right away and asked for insights on where I fell short. Still no response a month later. That’s disappointing because they invited the request for feedback, and because it seemed like they tried to foster a culture of feedback to drive continuous improvement. The lack of response leaves me with a less favorable impression of the firm than when I started the process.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Propeller (Portland, OR) in May 2024
Interview
Interviews were overly structured and largely unpersonal - difficult to connect with anyone on a personal level. The questions were very generic and surprisingly not well aligned to the role applied for. Talking points between interviewers around needs and the role were disconnected and confusing. The work put into the business case turned out to not be a good use of time.
