I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Acturis (London, England) in Nov 2015
Interview
You are required to answer 23 GMAT style questions under test conditions and then go through a case study with a member of staff. I didn't get an offer despite getting all but one of the GMAT questions right and completing the case study without help. They said I didn't ask enough questions about the case study and that when asked what sector I was looking to work in I answered finance and insurance, which wasn't specific enough apparently.
Everyone I met was really nice and polite and I was well looked after. I personally would advise anyone going to an interview with Acturis to be really careful about what you say in regards to future goals and what you want from a job. Ultimately they are looking for someone who is going to stay for several years, so don't mention plans to do a Masters or PhD for example even if they press you for that information. I can imagine language skills are sought after as they have offices in other countries so perhaps worth applying if you are not a STEM graduate but can speak another language fluently.
Overall nice people and well located offices but I wasn't particularly impressed by their reasoning for not offering a job given my performance on the day.
Talk to hr, talk to the hiring manager in the uk, do tests to check your analytical skills. Then do a case study to test your overall thinking and conversation skills
I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Acturis (Birmingham, England) in Oct 2024
Interview
Screening interview with recruiter, online GMAT test, then 2 online interviews on the same day, followed by an on-site interview. The 3 interviews focused on case studies with 3 different people.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Last interviews: Is it cost-effective for a company X to transition to digitization, knowing that it has a certain number of contracts?
Preliminary interview with project leads. Two interviews that were organised online, could have been done in one longer interview and led to my entire day being spent waiting around. Support analyst a somewhat glorified name for a IT Help Desk worker.
