Grayce Graduate Program Interview Questions
& Process

This graduate program experience was incredibly frustrating. Despite a strong interview performance and receiving a copy of an offer, I've been left waiting for two months with no updates due to 'group transitions' and a 'difficult time'. The interview process, while seeming simple, was demanding for a graduate role. It started with a basic interview focused on character and company fit, requiring engagement and background reading. This was followed by a presentation preparation and further questions, where I was told I excelled, with minor feedback on my graphs. It's baffling to be left waiting after being told to expect a start in early October. After weeks of silence, I was finally contacted, only to be asked if my situation had changed, with a request for immediate updates. It's important to know that payment is only provided during client placements, meaning no pay while they find you a company. This situation suggests a common theme of prolonged waiting and unclear communication.

It started with a phone interview with some basic questions about business change. It felt pretty easy, and I only spoke for about 5 minutes out of the 20 because the interviewer spent most of the time explaining the role. After that, I had a face-to-face interview. The interviewer was really nice, and it seemed like a pretty standard interview. I hadn't done many interviews before, but I didn't find it too hard; I never felt stuck on a question.

It was a pretty simple but long process. First, you apply online. Then, you do some more online questions. After that, there's a phone interview. This is followed by an in-person interview with a manager. Then, another in-person interview with the managing director. The last step is an interview with one of their clients you'd be working for. You get a conditional offer after the interview with the managing director, but it depends on you getting a job with their clients.
