I applied through university. I interviewed at Protiviti
Interview
I met a recruiter at my business college career fair and had an enjoyable conversation about "consulting" and what that really meant. This was followed by an inventation to dinner later that night. At dinner I got to enjoy dinner with 5 - 6 candidates and 2 protiviti managers. The next day I was invited to participate in a number of on campus interviews with the individuals from dinner. Within a couple of weeks I was extended an invitation to visit the Protiviti office and participate in another round of interviews. A recruiting dinner was held the night before the interviews and we were set up with hotel rooms near the office. The next morning we had group activities with protiviti employees including a Q&A session, group activity, and presentation. Througout the morning each candidate had a couple of individual interviews with different manager and above employees at Protiviti (usually at least one MD or Director). We were done around noon and returned home. Within a month protiviti communicated decisions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Pitch Protiviti to a potential client based off what you currently know about the company and our business.
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.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Colloquio conoscitivo: cos'è la consulenza direzionale, cosa pensi di protiviti e dei suoi valori.
Durante l'academy: presentazione di un progetto di gruppo fatto con altri ragazzi con il supporto dell'insegnante
