Interview process was overall a very positive experience.
- Firstly, I applied before the deadline online (standard online application with a few 'fit' questions).
- Then, the evening before the interview there was an introductory dinner where we sat with other candidates, an HR person and a senior person at the table, it was very informal/relaxed, it allows you to ask a lot of questions, have a good laugh and maybe make an impression. There was also a presentation to give us an idea of what we'd do during the internship, what we could expect out of the experience, etc.
- Then on the actual day of the interview, we were given some time to prepare a case study (this is only for consulting - I don't know what the exercise was for Audit, etc.) which was basically someone having trouble with their business and what you would advise them to do based on the situation.
- During the interview, which was with 2 people (one more senior and the other more like a direct manager), the atmosphere was quite relaxed - think more back-and-forth banter than being quizzed on your CV. They seemed to take a real interest in my goals, and the conversation then 'naturally' moved to the case study - again, they were quite relaxed about it and care more about how you think about the issue/ how well you'd come across to clients than what you actually say.
- Then I got a phone call the next morning with the offer for the internship!
