Reason for Declining
This is the single most unimpressive company I have ever interviewed with and this is why I declined their offer. The professional quality of people I met was mediocre to low. All apart from one were very nice however and I cannot fault them as people. The lack of entrepreneurialism was absolutely shocking and this was ultimate confirmation for me that if you have good company names on your CV, you don't want to soil it with Capco's name. My experience was with the risk and compliance division. The final Managing Principal was rude, interuppted and was intimidated by parts of my experience that she had no grasp of. Very unprofessional.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in New York, NY (took 1+ week)
Applied and was contacted by recruiter and after speaking with two consultants on the phone was invited to NY office for in person interviews. Arrived to find there were about 15 other candidates that were to be interviewed. Receptionist was nice and offered beverages before getting started. Went into room with other candidates where we were given brief overview before splitting into individual interviews. I interviewed with three consultants - two were friendly and I had good rapport with them. The other interviewer was a bit unprofessional with his questions and seemed more concerned with getting under my skin that getting to know me. The next week I was notified I would not continue to the next (and final) round.
When speaking with the other candidates I was surprised to find some had 2+ years of work experiences and a few with Masters as I was under the impression it was an entry-level role (I am a 2011 grad) which could have played a factor in not being extended an offer.

General question: Why consulting? Why capco? What make you fit this position? They didn't ask many questions, but they left plenty time for you to ask questions.
