      Consultant Interview

      Jan 17, 2019
      Anonymous employee
      San Francisco, CA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Propeller (San Francisco, CA) in Mar 2018

      Interview

      The interview process was very straightforward. Submitted my application online for a consultant role in SFO. Was contacted within 1 week via email to set up initial phone screen. Phone screen was with a consultant (which was great to hear first hand about the job), and took about 30 minutes. They briefly discuss the company, culture, and interview process. There are a few job-fit questions, but mainly conversational to understand interest and culture fit. Within a week of phone interview, I had my second round (mini-case) with another consultant, which lasted an hour. I was given a business problem and had to discuss how I would go about navigating the problem and finding a solution (i.e., how would you handle a client that...). Within a week after 2nd round, I had my 3rd round scheduled with a Managing Director. This was about culture-fit and job skills assessment (not a case), and lasted about 30 minutes. Within another week, I was contacted by HR to schedule final case interview in Portland (where all onboarding was done at the time). I flew out to Portland a few weeks later for the case interview. The final case took about 4 hours, was given a business case, and had to develop a strategy and project for handling the business problem (i.e., goals, objectives, work plan, success measures, etc.). The case centered on the intersection of people--technology. The founder of the company and another director came in after about 1.5 hours, and I had to present my case to them. They acted as the client and asked questions along they way (i.e., why did you structure it like that? how would you define success?). If you have done consulting before, then this should not be overwhelming. The next day after my case I was contacted with an offer.

      Q: You are working for a client who leads a team that is running behind on schedule. The team has become less productive and they are expecting a surge in work in the coming months. You are being brought in to help the team be more effective in anticipation of this work surge. How would you help get the team back on track?

      Consultant Interview

      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. I interviewed at Propeller

      Interview

      Either the interviewers are liars, hypocrites, or both. The company is lost and can't offer competitive market rates. I crushed all four interviews and case studies. They tried very hard to find something wrong with my answers, but fell short and floundered. Just like what the other interviewees stated on this site, they will ask if you want feedback and then ghost you.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      1. A company has missed deadlines, and vendors and leadership relationships are fractured. How would you fix it.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Propeller (Portland, OR) in Jun 2025

      Interview

      Exactly as described on their website. Prompt to send scheduling invites and quick follow up after first 2 rounds. Follow up from 3rd round took about 10 days and they declined to bring me in for a case study. The first 3 interviews seemed to go very well, so I was surprised. The “decline” email invited me to reply if I wanted to ask for specific feedback. Since the decline took me by surprise, I really wanted the feedback, so I replied right away and asked for insights on where I fell short. Still no response a month later. That’s disappointing because they invited the request for feedback, and because it seemed like they tried to foster a culture of feedback to drive continuous improvement. The lack of response leaves me with a less favorable impression of the firm than when I started the process.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Asked about how I handle feedback and an example of something I’ve worked on improving based on feedback.

      Anonymous interview candidate

      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Propeller (Portland, OR) in May 2024

      Interview

      Interviews were overly structured and largely unpersonal - difficult to connect with anyone on a personal level. The questions were very generic and surprisingly not well aligned to the role applied for. Talking points between interviewers around needs and the role were disconnected and confusing. The work put into the business case turned out to not be a good use of time.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      How would you close the gap between customer research and the platform decision - ensuring those insights are incorporated into any technology investments?
