      Public Sector Consultant Interview

      25 Jan 2013
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Washington, DC
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at IBM (Washington, DC) in Nov 2012

      Interview

      They didnt recruit at my school, but I was still selected for a first round. Phone interview was with a partner, very informal, mostly trying to get to know me. Was selected for a 'super day' type final round with around 30 candidates. Got a short case and 20 minute interview.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Case was strange, very open-ended. It was hard to structure my thoughts. How should federal agencies increase their revenue?

      Public Sector Consultant Interview

      26 Mar 2012
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Herndon, VA
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      The process took 1 day. I interviewed at IBM (Herndon, VA) in Feb 2012

      Interview

      Two 1:1 interviews back to back. One of them included a very short and simple case question. The rest of the interview was basic behavioral questions. Very lax experience overall. The process did seem to be organized poorly. The consultants interviewing were not even aware if they were interviewing interns or full time people, there was a bit of discrepancy beforehand.

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      Why IBM?
      Answer question

      Question 2

      What do you know/think about business analytics?
