I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at MCR Performance Solutions
Interview
The interview process was lengthy (6+ weeks). 2 Teams interviews, 1 in-person lunch (because we happened to be in the same area) and then two days at the office in Chicago.
In the end, I did not get an offer and the justification was that someone with 'more direct engineering experience would be more successful in the consultant role'.
After that entire process they turned me down because of what was on my resume.
My advice: don’t waste too much time on this company and instead find one that will be honest with you. Or at least one that thinks they know what they want. Either they have no clue what they are doing when they hire a person or they strung me along for 6 weeks knowing they weren’t going to give me an offer. I have a suspicion about which one of those is true.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
There were situational based questions all relating to previous issues they have helped their clients with. A power plant is considering investing in valve replacements because they are leaking by and causing a loss of efficiency; a company owner wants to reduce headcount, how do you help them; annual budget needs to be reduced, 20k line items, do you have to go over each line item?
I applied through other source. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at MCR Performance Solutions (Deerfield, IL)
Interview
Not a typical case interview structured, but various interviews with individuals at various experience levels in the practice you are interviewing for. The focus is being able to strategize through problems. Afterwards you'll have interviews with leaders in each practice area to see if you can adapt to other sides of the business.
