I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Protiviti (Sacramento, CA) in Mar 2015
Interview
The whole interview was conducted with a small group. It was a series of 3 hour interviews. They asked a lot of questions on process, technical questions, how my experience fits a transition into management consulting, behavioral and personality fit questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a stressful situation in which you managed a process .
Standard behavior and case study interview. It was very conversational and informative on the company. The case study was not too difficult, I think they just want to see your train of thought and how you think.
HR interview screened a lot of ppl away. It is used to see how dedicated you are to the industry
Interesting case interview. Can be prepared well by asking AI to prepare case studies for you.
One-one interview with MD was more about knowing you as a person.
I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Protiviti (Milan)
Interview
Contattato tramite una agenzia del lavoro, è stato fatto un primo colloquio con loro, poi un secondo colloquio conoscitivo con Protiviti.
Dopo aver passato entrambi, ci è stato erogato un mese di corsi (academy) che avevano un po' la funzione di colloquio tecnico (abbiamo dovuto fare dei progettini da presentare ai tecnici dell'azienda, ma eravamo accompagnati dai nostri insegnanti). Tutto molto tranquillo, nulla di difficile.
