I’m applying as an associate consultant at ZS. What is the difference between strategy insights and planning (SIP) and decision analytics (DA)? Is the interview process different depending on role?

Both are considered the management consulting tracks in ZS.

SIP aligns more with your typical generalist consultants at other firms and projects tend to be more qual. DA focuses more on quant-heavy projects which might require in-depth forecasting / model building.

Interview process for SIP is 1 structured case, 1 unstructured case, 1 fit. Can’t speak for DA as I didn’t go through that process but my guess it should be similar.

Same process. DA folks have an extra unstructured case in the final round.

Thank you! Do you have any recommendations on how to prepare for unstructured case?

Great! If anyone has experience with DA interview process that would be great

The interview depends on the role plus the job description posted by the company. Google and youtube are you best resources to prep.
