I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Capco (Frankfurt am Main) in Jun 2016
Interview
Insgesamt habe ich drei sehr freundliche Gespräche jeweils mit einem Principal Consultant in Frankfurter Büro geführt. In den Einzelgesprächen wurden einige Brainteaser und fachliche Fragen gestellt, auf die man sich jedoch nicht hätte vorbereiten können. Das finale Angebot entsprach nicht meinen Vorstellungen und deswegen habe ich es direkt abgelehnt. Der gesamte Bewerbungsprozess war absolut einwandfrei.

Question 1
In most of the rounds, there was a focus on the breadth and seniority of industry contacts that I'd worked with in the past
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Capco
Interview
The process started with an initial recruiter conversation, followed by technical interviews covering coding, system design, and architecture. The final round was with senior leadership and focused on consulting skills, communication, stakeholder management, and previous project experience. The interviewers were professional and approachable, and the discussions felt conversational rather than interrogative. There was a slight delay in scheduling the final interview, but communication throughout the process was clear.
I've gone through four interview stages, a personality test, which I always find a bit awkward, had to submit a portfolio of projects Ive worked on, and prepare a deck and deliver a 15-min presentation to the partners
