I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at The PSC (London, England) in Apr 2025
Interview
Two rounds of interviews total. First round contains two interviews with both behavioral questions and case study. Second round is the same plus a data insight interview (you are given a pack of info and 30 minutes to prepare a presentation). You end up interviewing with at least five different people, so you end up with a good “feeling” for the culture (including a nice casual coffee chat at the end). Most of the interviewers were absolutely lovely and engaged, others less so (felt a bit rushed). They were quick to call back and provide detailed feedback which is highly appreciated. Overall a positive experience but a bit too much effort (time wise): both rounds in their London office which is much better than zoom but you might need to take a lot of time off from work and other responsibilities.

Question 1
- A time when you worked in a team to overcome a challenge
- Why public service consulting?
- All case studies were healthcare related (reducing hospital length of stay, improving emergency services etc.). Not too complicated.
5 interviews, including a presentation and 4 case study interviews with a small bit on personal experience at the start. Each interview was about 40 mins. Have to show structured thinking.
