Porsche Consulting Management Consultant Interview Questions
& Process

Aqui está um processo de entrevista fictício para uma vaga de Estagiário de Consultoria: Primeiro, a Aplicação Online, onde você envia seu currículo e carta de motivação, talvez alguns testes de lógica. Depois, a Entrevista Inicial com o RH para vermos sua motivação, se você se encaixa na cultura e como se comunica. Eles podem perguntar sobre suas experiências na faculdade e fora dela. Em seguida, o Case Study, onde damos um problema de negócios para você resolver e apresentar. Isso mostra suas habilidades analíticas e de resolver problemas. Depois, a Entrevista Técnica, com perguntas mais aprofundadas sobre suas habilidades analíticas, conhecimento do setor e, quem sabe, mais um estudo de caso focado em números e estratégia. Por fim, a Entrevista Final com um Sócio, uma conversa sobre valores, sua visão de carreira e como você pode agregar valor à empresa. Se tudo der certo, você recebe a Oferta de estágio.

The interview process had three rounds: HR, managers, and a partner. The first interview was with HR for about half an hour by phone. They asked standard questions about motivation and my CV, and it was important to stress why I fit Porsche. The second interview was with two seniors one or two levels above the position I applied for. This lasted 1.5 hours and was mostly about motivation and fit, with opportunities to ask questions. A case study was integrated, involving market sizing and profitability. I had about 20 minutes to prepare and was asked to put together a rough PPT slide, followed by a discussion about my findings and process. The third interview only happened if the previous one was cleared positively. This was with a partner and HR, led by the partner, and lasted 1.5 hours. It also included a case study where I had to present a slide, this time about process design. The interviews were very open, agreeable, and professional. The people I spoke to were great, and the company really emphasized answering all questions and making a personal connection. I didn't sign, but I would reconsider them as an employer in the future.

The interview process was very disorganized. It took months to even get the first interview. I applied online, and it took two weeks for the first call, which was delayed three times. The HR call finally happened a month after applying. After that call, it took five weeks to hear back about moving to the next round and to be asked about my availability for an in-office interview, which I provided immediately. Five weeks passed with no word, so I reached out. They replied that they hadn't contacted me because they were still waiting for interviewer availability. After another four weeks of silence, I contacted them again, which finally led to a call two weeks later informing me that the position had been filled. I applied in October 2016 and finally got a response in March 2017. They really should apply their own lean and efficient processes internally.
