Hi Preplounge Community,

I was recently invited to a healthcare consulting firm's interview and was asked to perform a technology assessment for a consultant role. Would really appreciate if anyone could provide some insights into what might be included in a technology assessment! 

Many thanks!

Hi there,

This could be a lot of things, e.g., 

  • general aptitude tests (e.g. GMAT or SOVA style)
  • psychometric tests like the Pymetrics
  • a domain-relevant technical interview (like the McKinsey TEI)

Did they specify in their invite what it will be about?

Cheers,

Florian

Hi there,

You haven't given us enough info…

What company are you actually interviewing with?

What “assessment” did they say?

Is this a written assessment? And online test? A live case? We need to know what they said (ideally verbatim) in order to help!

Hi there,

Q: Would really appreciate if anyone could provide some insights into what might be included in a technology assessment

I don’t think we can help much, as we don’t have enough information. As mentioned by Ian I would recommend you add:

  • Company name
  • Any information they provided on the assessment already

Best,

Francesco

This is a great question… for them. If you are being assessed on something you need to get a clear view from the interviewer on what they will be assessing.
