McKinsey & Company Hi there! I have an upcoming interview for a Senior Business Analyst position at Booz Allen Hamilton and was wondering if anyone has gone through the interview process before and can offer some insights. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Booz Allen Hamilton Deloitte McKinsey & Company Accenture

Former hiring manager at BAH here: there’s no formalized interviewing process at BAH here, it’s up to each team on how they do it. Expect a mix of technical and personal experience questions and likely two interviews minimum, but as it’s team-specific, I can’t really provide any more detailed information.

P1 - You’re correct. I had one interview today and Was told I will be hearing back from the recruiter.

My interviews I personally had there and the ones I’ve given all have one thing in common - whatever you put on your resume, they will make sure to ask about it to see if you know what you’re talking about and to make sure you’re not lying about/inflating your experiences.

So walk through your resume multiple times and make sure you’re comfortable talking about whatever’s on there. With that, you’ll be fine. Good luck!

P1 - It’s not in the Job req. I proceed by asking the recruiter.

Most likely there won't be a technical screening (a coding test), but lots of situational and practical questions about your technical skills and background.

The interview process at BAH isn't consistent, so any further details are going to depend on the specific team and leadership.

There will be no skills demonstration at all. You’ll be asked about your skills and experience and some teams like to ask behavioral questions but they’re usually pretty tame because HR has no influence on the process.

Best thing you can do for yourself is ask questions that demonstrate understanding of the domain and interest in the role. The more questions you ask, the better.

Ask questions about team dynamics. Booz Allen is all over the place and it can make or break your experience.

What location?

The job location is completely remote! However, Washington DC Area!

For those who have gone through Mck First Round/Final Round - could you talk about how the interview took place? I am a bit worried as it might be hard to connect with the interviewer when the process is not in-person. Did you have a phone call or a Zoom call with video, and did it feel awkward? Thanks for your help!

Found a random engagement ring.

Hi all, so I found a platinum ring (which I assumed it's an engagement ring as it has dates and initials engraved on top.) And a Divvy tag (I have no idea what it was until I googled it. Apparently it's a bike sharing service in Chicago) in a briefcase I ordered online. I was thinking of returning the item back to the store but that wouldn't help the person who lost the ring. Attached is a picture of them.

What should I do now?
