I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at ZS Associates in Feb 2021
Interview
Round 1 : Case study - Travel company
Round 2 : Fit round
Overall, the managers were more interested in knowing my work schedule rather than my technical skills.
When I told them I work for ~8 hours everyday, they wanted me to explain how I will be able to scale up to a different work life balance at ZS. These guys are glorifying working for ~12/13 hours a day which simply does not make any sense.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What's your current schedule like?
How will you be able to adjust to working 12-13 hours a day?
Will you be available at all times during a day if your team need you?
Case study round was interesting- there was a lot of extra information to confuse you but at the end it is basics you have to focus on. Technical and HR round was not too difficult.
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at ZS Associates (Chennai) in Sep 2022
Interview
The hiring was done at a bschool, hence for offcampus the process might differ. After initial screening, a submission had to be done through a hackathon(business case). Post that, the shortlisted students had two interviews- first being a thorough case discussion, guestimate and second being mixture of puzzle, behavioural questions, work ex related ques and guestimates.
