2015 Consulting graduate applications

Told I was too far down the Monitor Deloitte queue and asked to fill in the service line questionnaire for other areas of consulting. A bit pissed off. Invited to first round interview but god knows how long they'll take to schedule that. Incredibly frustrating.

Same here, I received this bs after 6 weeks of "you have been invited to the AC" on my application status.
I wonder what is the point of specifying a firm deadline for applications If in the end they end up processing applications on a first-come-first-served basis? meh.


By the way, how did you go about choosing your alternative service line on the questionnaire? more than half of all available options (which are not even labelled) seem to describe several subsets of the technology consulting practice, with no real explanation of how they differ in terms of skills required...

I haven't heard back yet either. I could kick myself for forgetting to ask after my interview, but I assumed (hoped!) they would let us all know today (or at least by the end of tomorrow) as first round interviews have now finished as far as I know.

Do you mind if I ask what uni you are at? I heard Bain only wants top 5 unis

I'm definitely not the usual candidate - I go to Edinburgh and don't have any traditional 'city' internships nor do I study business/finance.

Meeting the other interviewees though I genuinely got the impression that Bain looks for a much more diverse set of candidates than BCG or McKinsey. I only speculate, but I think what mainly counts for them is your performance. I'm pretty sure the main reason I got to interview was because I did very well on the numerical and they wanted to give me a shot. And although the interviewers were very friendly and personable on the day, the focus was definitely primarily on the case with only a brief 5 minutes spent on motivational questions, which makes me think that your success hinges on your ability, rather than your work experience, university, or background.

Hi don't worry about this one. I literally didn't prepare for it at all as I have already accepted an offer elsewhere but I just went for the experience/travel reimbursement as I had already booked my flights!

Group exercise- picking a town to host an event.

Case study- lots of info to digest in 30 mins. in the interview you will be asked 6/7 questions on it.

Interview- very relaxed. standard why deloitte, why consulting, why this service line. then asks about a project and they delve further into it.

Piece of advice: really know what your service line does. i.e. day-to-day tasks

Just heard back and was invited to the final round. Anybody have experience with Bain's written case study?

Hey thanks for the details about the session, really helped me expect what it will be at the AC. Did they ask much about current issues?

Nope none at all!

Who did you go for in the end?

Anyone have advice on Mercer Video Interview? Would really appreciate any input!

Capgemini!

Capgemini!

Has anyone had their AC with EY yet? I've got mine on Tuesday and just wondering if anyone had any pointers

Anyone here done PWC phone interview yet, any weird questions or just normal competencies?

If you call them 'PWC" they're automatically gonna reject you
