Received and Accepted Offer

Interviewed Nov 2010 in New York, NY (took 6+ weeks)

Offered a "wait list" interview slot for first round interviews the day before on-campus interviews. Interviewer was pleasant, but acted somewhat uninterested during a few of my stories. Was invited to second round interviews, but the HR manager didn't seem to know what she was doing. She didn't send us the time until a day before. At the interviews, I had one interviewer that was really harsh and told me that I didn't have the technical background to succeed. Then, the other interviewer was really nice and told me that technical knowledge wasn't necessary, just technical aptitude.

Interviewed Jul 2010 in New York, NY (took 2 weeks)

1 HR Screen followed by a managing director phone interview. Afterwards, 1 director and 1 sr. manager in person interview in the office. MD interview was more for culture fit and was a breeze. Sr. Manager interview was a case study and more around general knowledge on IT processes such as ITIL, SDLC etc.
I couldn't remember the ITIL process names and was not given an offer. Make sure to memorize.

Interviewed Nov 2009 in Jersey City, NJ (took 2 days)

Got the interview on campus; breezed past the first round.
At the second round, there was a series of 1:1 interviews with on-the-bench consultants for the company. I had to give a presentation on a topic of my choice and answer simple math Qs. I was told the firm couldn't hire fast enough and that I couldn't have made it to the final round if my resume wasn't good enough. I was then declined an offer because I didn't have enough experience. Humph!
I interviewed in BIM group--- no case studies were given.

Interviewed Nov 2009 in New York, NY (took a day)

If you go to a top mba school, Capgemini will almost certainly invite you for an interview. Given its 2009, its after the crisis, Capgemini can seem attractive because the dealflow of the company seems to be looking up (according to principals and partners who work there)...to the tune of 400 million dollars this year. Not bad.

Interview Questions

Describe an eithical situation in which you were involved.

Answer Question

Reason for Declining

Reading reviews of Capgemini and talking to current consultants, it seems the company is a little slow on the promotion process. The last thing you want to do after b-school is feel like you're stuck in your new job and have no where to go.
