Ask what typical projects/engagements look like, how long the typical one is, what are some of the challenges their clients face, how repeatable are the engagements (do they bring their own assets/accelerators), is the pipeline of work healthy...

Seven senior consultants arrive in a sack
Eight associates sneak in the back
