2015 Consulting graduate applications

I got a parthenon rejection earlier in the week, but that was replied back to a specific enquiry so I'm not sure if they've actually done shortlisting or not. Hope that helps!

Was there a chance to upload a CV during BDO's application for Management Consulting?

Just need someone to confirm this!


Yeah there was. You could also upload a cover letter, but having bashed out 900 words for their application I honestly couldn't face doing that as well

Really? Looked through the whole app and didn't find anywhere to do it! There was a separate section on the profile but nothing on the app itself..

Considering the application pretty much covered all aspects of a CV I doubt it will make much difference either way?

for parthenon did anyone get an email confirming that their app was submitted. I'm certain I went all the way through process but got no email confirmation


No, I did not get a confirmation either, but I emailed them the next day to ask and they confirmed they received it.
Parthenon ran first round interviews this week - has anyone heard back yet on outcome?
Anyone heard back from monitor deloitte yet?

Nothing. They did say they would get back to us this week so maybe something in the next few hours...

Had phone interview with KPMG on monday after having to wait 3 extra weeks because I got food poisoning and had to reschedule. Been told they are arranging my AC and will be in touch in the next 2-3 weeks.

Was that for straight Management Consulting? Or Strategy group?

KPMG Update:



Amazing. I was just about to email them to withdraw from the process (as I've accepted an offer elsewhere) but they've saved me the effort.

Timeline wise:

- Applied mid September and less than a week later, I was told that I'd passed the screening and testing and that somebody would be "in touch with you within the next two weeks to organise a telephone interview."

- Early October, I get a generic "we're still looking at obtaining dates for your interview and will be in touch" email.

- Zero communication until the above email received Friday evening (two months after being told they'd be giving me an interview)

I suspect I'm not the only one who got this email?

For those of you still looking for a position, and who probably wasted hours upon hours preparing for a promised telephone interview that never materialised, I'm truly sorry.

What's that saying in business? Something about under promising and over delivering...

Risk and Regulation :smile: I applied late august I think but delayed it because of my own illness more than their being full. Although we'll see now if an AC materialises.

I'm in the same boat. I emailed them and they gave absolutely nothing away! Have you done it yet?

never got the email, but as I got through over the phone and was told the same thing I feel the same level of annoyance. Time wasters.
