I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Michael Page (Mumbai) in Aug 2012
Interview
I applied for the post based on a Facebook ad. I saw the ad just oen day prior to the deadline and interview day. I contacted the mentioned responsible person and assured that I would be present for the interview.
The next day I reached their office and there were 8 other applicants. We were given a detailed introduction of Michael Page initially by one of their managers.
Post this, we started with a Group Discussion. The topic startled us all. The MD and another Senior Manager were the judges. We were asked to come to a common conclusion as a group and inform the judges who, from the 9 of us, should be selected. The decision and discussion was supposed to be based on pure logic.
We were given 2 mins of time prior to starting to ask any questions. This was ( as informed to us later ) an opportunity for us to ask the judges exactly the kind of people they wanted.
The GD did go quite randomly of course but interesting nonetheless. Afte the GD, 4 of us were selected for final interview round with the same judges. I had a decent time at the interview. They did not grill me but rather made me tweak my answers and approach to what a consultant's should be. The interview was less of a test and more of a training itself. The MD did help me be better than what I was.
Treated you like a criminal. Too pushy already in the interview. Definitely don’t recommend. You will regret it. Don’t waste your time having rounds of interviews. Don’t seem to be a healthy work environment.
Friendly and easy going. it was okay, interviewers were friendly and down to earth, they want to know you as a person so they asked about my hobbies, what i want to achieve in life and what are my drives and motivation
The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Michael Page (Tokyo)

Question 1
pretty basic questions but the 2nd round was surprisingly in Japanese, after i mentioned my N2 the manager started to speak in Japanese with me. The 3rd and 4th round were role-plays and situational questions.
