I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Protiviti (Dallas, TX) in Oct 2015
Interview
Applied online through my university's job application site. I then attended a career fair where I submitted my resume to the Protiviti reps there. I heard back within the week and interviewed a week later to that. First interview was two parts; a case study and a behavioral interview. I received a callback to visit the Dallas office. This consisted of one interview and a team presentation. Both of which were difficult, but I had prepared prior to arriving so I was able to answer the questions asked of me. Received a callback with an offer two weeks later. It was an overall great experience.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is your greatest accomplishment?
What do you know about consulting?
Why are you interested in consulting?
Standard behavior and case study interview. It was very conversational and informative on the company. The case study was not too difficult, I think they just want to see your train of thought and how you think.
HR interview screened a lot of ppl away. It is used to see how dedicated you are to the industry
Interesting case interview. Can be prepared well by asking AI to prepare case studies for you.
One-one interview with MD was more about knowing you as a person.
I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Protiviti (Milan)
Interview
Contattato tramite una agenzia del lavoro, è stato fatto un primo colloquio con loro, poi un secondo colloquio conoscitivo con Protiviti.
Dopo aver passato entrambi, ci è stato erogato un mese di corsi (academy) che avevano un po' la funzione di colloquio tecnico (abbiamo dovuto fare dei progettini da presentare ai tecnici dell'azienda, ma eravamo accompagnati dai nostri insegnanti). Tutto molto tranquillo, nulla di difficile.

Durante l'academy: presentazione di un progetto di gruppo fatto con altri ragazzi con il supporto dell'insegnante
