Who they want
- 1+ years experience in management consulting at leading strategy or tier-one consulting firms
- Strong expertise in structured problem-solving, market sizing, financial modeling, and business-case development
- Exceptional written communication skills capable of articulating complex evaluations clearly
- Detail-oriented, methodical approach to evaluating complex, sophisticated work
- Comfort receiving feedback and calibrating judgment to maintain consistency with established standards
Main skills
What the interview asks about
1.Rubric design and scoring clarity
Explicit rubrics enable consistent evaluation and help others understand what distinguishes excellent from acceptable work.
For example: “Design a rubric for evaluating a strategy recommendation deliverable with 3-4 key dimensions and clear level definitions (excellent, good, acceptable, weak).”
2.Evidence-based scoring
Scores supported by specific evidence are reproducible and defensible; unsupported scores suggest inconsistent standards.
For example: “Two financial models estimate similar revenue but with different cost structures. Score each against quality criteria (assumption clarity, data sourcing, reasonableness). Explain score differences with concrete examples.”
3.Quality of written feedback
Useful feedback identifies specific strengths and gaps; vague comments do not help AI developers or junior consultants improve.
For example: “A market sizing analysis shows good problem breakdown but weak assumption justification. Write a 150-word evaluation highlighting these specific issues and explaining how to strengthen the work.”
4.Recognizing analytical rigor
Effective evaluation requires judging whether analyses follow sound business reasoning and use appropriate methodologies.
For example: “A submission recommends a go-to-market strategy for a $5B TAM. How would you assess whether the analysis showed sufficient depth on competitive positioning, customer segmentation, and distribution?”
5.Maintaining consistency over time
Score drift over evaluation sessions undermines validity; calibration prevents subjective variation.
For example: “After evaluating 10 submissions, a senior reviewer notes your scores have gradually become stricter on data quality but more lenient on presentation clarity. How would you recalibrate your next batch?”
A task you may get
Create a 3-4 criteria rubric for evaluating a market sizing analysis, including level definitions (5-point scale), then score two sample submissions with written justifications.
How to prepare
- Gather 2-3 strategy documents or market analyses from your consulting experience to understand quality markers
- Develop a personal evaluation framework identifying what distinguishes strong from weak problem-solving and analysis
- Document examples from your career where you provided performance feedback and calibrated standards with peers
- Practice writing feedback that combines specific examples from a deliverable with clear guidance on improvements
