I applied online. I interviewed at Guidehouse (San Francisco, CA) in Oct 2022
Interview
Relatively straightforward, with a case study on Ocean Generation Technology. The process did not seem to be very well-organized, with a lot of the requests and scheduling coming in last-minute, leading me to spend less than a full day cramming an entire case study on a new topic, then rehearsing the presentation. The company then proceeded to not follow up and fully ghost without even a rejection letter despite it being a “later-stage interview.”
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What are the limitations of ocean generation technology and how does it compare to existing renewable options?
1R technical presentation + 1R behavioral
2R traditional casing interview + 2R behavioral
They give you a prompt for technical presentation prep a week before the interview. For 2R it's a traditional casing interview that gives you a case on the spot. 1R behavioral was with a director, 2R was with a partner at the firm.
Process very thorough but demanding. Left me on the hook between rounds and then I was treated like an “compliance interview” by the final round. Interviewer was extremely disinterested and seemed to already have their mind made up. The recruiters are disorganized. This place is a joke.
They were very professional and prompt, easy to coordinate and clear questions. The process made sense and I got plenty of time to ask questions of my own. I interviewed with two different people.
