Lovely process. They were very kind throughout. The case is relatively simple during the in-person interview. The key is to find an area of shared interest with the recruiter and you'll be fine.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at HKA (Philadelphia, PA) in Jan 2021
Interview
2.5 hour super day, 1 case study. The rest of the interview was all behavioral questions that weren’t too bad and just trying to get to know you. Study Financial based case studies.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at HKA (New York, NY) in Oct 2021
Interview
The interview process involved 2 rounds
1. Phone call with the manager.
2. A 3 Hour interview which consisted of an excel test, case study interview, email writing test and a closing interview.
The second round was challenging but a great learning experience.
The manager called and asked a few general behavioral questions.
The The interview was taken over by another manager who provided with a case study, a draft excel sheet was provided to me few hours before so that I can check the file opens correctly and that everything works perfectly during the interview.
The manager sat patiently and answered all my questions for almost 1.5 hrs. While I solved the case.
I eventually analyzed the data in the excel and summarized my findings in a email that is typically sent to the client.
Last step was the closing interview where I interacted with the Partner. We discussed about my role as an intern, future career trajectory at HKA and any questions that I might have.
The interview felt less like an interview and more like an actual project! Happily accepted the offer and looking forward to begin my Internship!
Thank you so much for taking the time to provide detailed feedback on your recent interview experience. We value that you were referred by one of our colleagues as colleague referrals means you already know someone who can share insights on what it is like to work at HKA.
Congratulations on being offered an Internship with us and I hope once you join, you have a great experience working at HKA.
