      Principal Consultant Interview

      12 Dec 2025
      Anonymous interview candidate
      London, England
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at PA Consulting (London, England) in Oct 2025

      Interview

      This interview method is highly effective as it involves team members from various parts of the departments. It’s a great way to get a feel for the company culture and the people you’ll be working with.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      The process involved a real-world client brief and exercise to facilitate an initial discovery meeting with the client.

      Principal Consultant Interview

      13 May 2024
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at PA Consulting in Apr 2024

      Interview

      Interviewed by two Principal Consultants, Initially there was some confusion over whether I was being interviewed for Consultant or Principal Consultant. Decided to progress anyway and clarify later. General questions were asked about my experience, Both interviewers seemed to enjoy working there and said I would have feedback the following week. However I have heard nothing, even after chasing the hiring manager. Basically they ghosted me, which is just rude, NOT RECOMMENDED.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      They asked about my experience managing backlogs and developer teams.
