Our assessment considers your mental agility, motivations and personality. It will give us a rounded picture of who you are and what you like. You can do it on your phone or laptop, and it takes approximately 30 minutes.

Amanda Birkeland, Consultant, Oslo

Face-to-face interview

Our face-to-face interviews allow us to assess your consulting and analytical skills, often with the use of a case study. Our interviews typically follow a structured format to allow for consistency and fairness throughout the process. They also offer you a chance to get to know us, and you will have the time to ask as many questions as you want.

Andrea Betteto, Consultant, London

Make sure that you clearly explain your thought process during the interview; this is more important than ‘cracking the case’ per se.

Andrea Betteto, Consultant, London
Sumedh Ghogare, Consultant, Delhi

Keeps notes of the feedback after every case study that you consider. Keep on reading through these notes once or twice a week to iron out your mistakes as you go.

Presentation - The interview process

Partner interview

You will meet the office Partner(s). They will give you a good understanding of Analysys Mason’s plans and explain how you will fit within the team and the wider company.

James Allen, Partner, Cambridge

Listen to the interviewer. They are interested in how you respond to their points, and (in case study questions) the extent to which you can take on board helpful suggestions about your approach. This is of interest to us because it is also directly relevant when working with clients.

James Allen, Partner, Cambridge
David Abecassis, Partner, London

Be honest and genuine in your answers. An interview is a two-way process to understand if the company and you are a good fit, so a candid, honest discussion is the best way to ensure that is the case. Experienced interviewers can tell if you are overly rehearsed or disingenuous; be yourself!

David Abecassis, Partner, London
Jack Walpole, Associate Consultant, London

Relax! This is a great opportunity to have a discussion with an expert in the TMT industry and demonstrate how you will fit into the company. You should be prepared to talk about your interests, including those that are not related to the position.

Support teams

Our interview process is two-way and is as much an opportunity for you to get to know us, as it is for us to get to know you.

Although each support team will run a different recruitment process, it will always include between two and three stages. At times, it might also involve an online assessment or a presentation.

You will also have the chance to meet your future peers and have an informal conversation to understand what it is like to work at Analysys Mason.

The recruitment team will always be in touch before, during and after the process, providing information and feedback at each stage.
