Case Behavioral Other

The interview process was for a transformation role within CIB CT, which is the group's consulting firm. It's not quite like a typical big four consulting firm. There were 4 interviews, preceded by an initial alignment interview. Ultimately, it turned out the salary level was too high during the HR interview, even though we had already discussed salary. It was a very disappointing experience and a huge waste of time, including travel to the office for a case study interview without reimbursement for those traveling from other cities/countries.

Had an initial chat with HR, then met with two managers for a second interview. They asked about my personal and professional background. The questions were pretty standard, drawing on my past studies and work. The interviewers were great and made it a good, interesting conversation.
