I applied through university. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Peloton Consulting Group (Chicago, IL) in Nov 2015
Interview
First round was on campus with a Manager. Overall experience was great - very personable. No brain teasers, just tried to gauge finance / accounting / technology acumen. Heard back quickly and was invited to their Super Day. Super Day was also very relaxed, met with six different individuals over three 2-on-1 interviews for a half hour each. Again, no brain teasers and nothing too challenging. Again, a focus on how do you think and how you work on teams, problem-solving, etc. Heard back in about a week regarding an offer.
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
Walk through the structure of an Income Statement.
It was three rounds — mostly behavioral with some technical questions. They focused a lot on why I want to join the company and the industry, which made it clear they care about motivation and fit as much as skills.
Interview process was warm and friendly with about 3 hours worth of screening and interviews up until the end when I was not chosen. Then I was hit with radio silence and sent an automated message that they would not be moving forward with me. It would have been fine but I was called throughout every step of the process and after every interview so being ghosted by the recruiter was not the best.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Peloton Consulting Group (Denver, CO) in Nov 2024
Interview
The interview process was pretty thorough. I had a preliminary call with HR, and 1 interview with a managing consultant. Then, once I was approved, I had 3 back-to-back interviews over Teams. Each with 1-2 consultants. I tried to go above and beyond and made a personalized portfolio that applied to the application, and then I shared it with each interviewer before the interview. I was able to then talk about my applicable projects and have them see them during the interview.
Most of it was seeing if you are able to communicate well and a personality fit, but I was asked some questions that were a bit more technical (but nothing crazy).
My best advice is to look up your interviewers beforehand and ask them questions about their specific career experience. Ask about their prior experience and how it connected to the current role, what allowed them to achieve promotions prematurely, etc.
