The whole process took about 3 months, which felt very long. The recruitment agency they used was pretty unprofessional, giving me hardly any updates or guidance, and I had to chase them a lot. I was told all interviews were in-person. What they told me about the interview format wasn't what actually happened in the rounds, which was frustrating because I prepared based on their info. One senior person asked me about my current life stage and mentioned how some women have kids, which I'm not sure if that's appropriate. I also got the sense they might prefer people with Big Four experience.

So I first chatted with Denise, the Talent Acquisition Manager in Spain. It was a really nice and open chat. After that, I had a conversation with two recruiters from Paris. This one was more structured, but still pleasant and informative. They told me about the next step, which would have been a meeting with two stakeholders. But then, the process stopped because it was a fixed-term contract for 8 months. Still, it was a good experience overall!!

Case Behavioral Technical

The entire process took about 3 to 4 months to complete. It started with an online case assessment, followed by an HR screening call. Then there were two interviews with the manager, which involved a case study and behavioral questions. After that, I had two interviews with partners that involved unpredictable case formats. To top it off, there was one more additional interview at the very end.

  • Questions about my general personal impact.

It was a really thorough process. First, there was a phone screening. Then, I had a first interview with the line manager, followed by a second interview with the department director. The final interview was with the system leader. Even though the people I met with were senior, the atmosphere was always friendly and professional.
