      Senior Associate Interview

      15 Jun 2014
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Optimity

      Interview

      I was referred by a friend. 1. Following referral, approximately 2 phone interviews is standard. Questions vary from interviewer to interviewer. In general, they are trying to get to know you/get a feel for if your experience and if you'd fit in the Optimity culture, because maintaining company culture is very important to Optimity and it is one of the great factors that makes them unique. 2. Next step is you'll be called in for a "super day" which is where you will go to Optimity's office and go through several in person interviews with employees from varying levels of experience in their industry and at Optimity. You'll also have a case study interview (sometimes at the beginning or in the middle depending on the availability/schedule of the interviewers). I had the case study first, an interview with an Associate, a Manager, a Senior Manager, and a Partner. Questions again vary from interviewer to interviewer. All except one (the one with a Manager) felt informal. They tried to get to know me, my background, asked typical behavioral interview questions (i.e. - tell me when you had to deal with X situation). Suggest using the STAR method for those kinds of questions (Situation, Task, Action, Result). It doesn't always fit, but it is a good guide to ensure you cover and show your way of thinking and give the interviewers a good understanding of your capabilities, logic, experiences, and communication skills. It is important to relate how your past skills/experiences can be applied to Optimity. Do your research on the company and talk with employees prior to your interviews if possible, to get a feel for what the company is like, what kinds of projects they work on, and if you feel you'd fit and enjoy your work.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Case study with mathematical calculations. It wasn't unexpected, but given it was my first time doing it for an interview, I found it to be the most difficult.

      Senior Associate Interview

      14 Apr 2018
      Anonymous employee
      New York, NY
      Accepted offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Optimity (New York, NY) in Apr 2015

      Interview

      I had a phone screen with a consultant who had been there for some time; received a call back for an in-person, which involved at least 5 people back-to-back (from Associate to Partner level), that was predominantly about my experience/behavioral, and there was one case study (which I'd say was 'low to medium' difficulty. I appreciated the value in making sure I was a cultural fit. I did not appreciate how long it took for HR to get back to me after the interview- they were more responsive after I told them about another offer. Had I not had a GREAT experience interviewing with the team, I would probably have gone to the other company because the back and forth 'we're working on it, we'll get back to you' from HR's end was frustrating.
