Capgemini Graduate Technology Programme 2023

I applied to the Graduate Consultant (technical projects) programme and got 9 questions. They were all about the company and reasons for applying to the role. So make sure you know the company well.

Thank you, I completed the interview and your advice was helpful. any idea how long it will be before I hear back from them? There is no indication from the email they gave me upon completion.

I heard back in a day but it will depend on the number of applications they have to go through. I’d say roughly a week if they are busy.

Thank you , did you get through to the assessment centre?

Yes I did

niceeee, good luck. hope it goes well.

Thank you. I’ve finished all the stages and waiting to hear back. Goodluck! I hope you get through

oh in that case i hope you get it. any advice on what to expect at the AC (if i get through), and how to be successful in it.

Thank you!

The AC has two parts - group work and 1-1 interview

Group work - you each will be given a proposal in which you will have to read and present to the group. You should explain why this proposal should be chosen. The chosen proposal in the group will then be presented to the 'board' (assessors), where you will answer a few questions stated in the brief. The assessors then will ask questions. This was roughly around 40 minutes

The 1-1 Interview was 45minutes to an hour. The interview is split into three parts - motivational alignment, strengths alignment and role alignment.

Motivational alignment – why Capgemini? Why this programme? What do we do that excites you, what made you apply? – questions of this nature.

Strengths aligned – A lot of “tell us about a time when…” type of questions

Role alignment – This section is to assess if Capgemini is right for you and what you can bring to the role

A tip I would give is to stay professional at all times.

I hope this helps

Thank you!

Hey, I have my VAC coming up and this is super helpful, thank you!

I was wondering do they ask technical questions? As in to do with programming or Cloud computing for example?

Are you expected to talk about languages or projects you have done?

Thank you!

Hi,

I have not done the VAC myself, I am still waiting to hear back if I passed the digital interview, but from the research that I have done, I don't think they ask you any technical questions. It may be something you can raise in the role alignment part, if they ask you what extra you can bring to the role, if you have those skills. You could probably refer to any projects that you have done in the Strength based questions. From what i have gathered, it is just the Motivational, Strengths and Role alignment questions they ask you. I have done other similar interviews, and they generally follow the same format.

Little off topic but how long did they take to get back to you to notify you if you were successful in the digital interview, how long did it then take to find out a confirmed date for VAC, and when is the VAC for you. If you don't mind me asking. Just so I can better understand what to expect.

Hope that helps.

Thank you!

Could I specifically ask what is Role Alignment, What type of questions would they ask? Because I'm a bit confused. Is it technical questions like what is devops?

Its a very informal meeting on the types of roles available and what you’re interested in. They assign you a role. AC is the last stage of this application process so expect the fit “interview” to be very casual. I never got asked any technical questions.
