      Trainee Consultant Interview

      20 July 2016
      Anonymous employee
      Manchester, England
      Accepted offer
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at QA (Manchester, England) in Oct 2017

      Interview

      > eMail outreach from a recruiter > Brief phone interview > Brief online aptitude test > Assessment day: Involved being split into groups ans tasked with designing a product and website/app, doing market research, coming up with a business plan, and giving a presentation (plus some odd-ball tasks to throw you off, or see how you cope, like writing a musical jingle, taking photographs of the team, or filming a brief TV-style ad on your phone). > One-on-one technical interviews throughout the assessment day > Next-day phone call with offer

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Most of the questions asked were about my time at university, with a focus on my dissertation project and group projects. There were also some questions about my hobbies. I was told there would also be technical questions about Java (so I spend some time leading up to the assessment day teaching myself some Java), but there weren't any in the end.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at QA (Manchester, England) in May 2016

      Interview

      Was contacted by the recruitment team after placing my CV on a third-party recruitment website and was invited to an assessment day within a week. Due to the time of year (exam period) I was in a small group, although on average groups are usually around 15 people. We sat a short technical test, and a competency test which were used to judge our relative abilities. We were asked as a group to research a piece of technology and create a presentation that we would present to the interview organisers. After this we went for a one on one interview with someone from the company, which was relaxed and nor pressurised. I heard back within a week.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      What can you tell me about the Object Oriented principles? Why did you go into IT? Tell me about a software project youve been involved in (asked specifically to someone with IT backgtround)
