I had a great experience when interviewing for BPI. I got to know the company, the people and the position very well, and I was always well informed about the next steps and the requirements, what to expect and how to prepare for the different stages. I really enjoyed the interviews because during the discussions I got sneak-peek of the company's culture and I could ask all my questions and more.

I applied online and was contacted fairly quickly via email for a first interview via Skype with HR. It was a very pleasant experience because usually HR people are quite "standardised" and come across cold. Not so here. Some questions also fell out of the standard questionnaire which was challenging and interesting. Next, I had a Skype interview with a Consultant from Turin with a case and some minutes for a personal conversation. This step has been repeated with another Consultant from London. After that, I had my final interview with a Partner also via Skype with the same structure. The interview process stretched across 2 months and before making an offer, they invited to one of their internal training/social days which they conduct every 2 to 3 days. It was a very good experience to meet the whole team and have short conversations in breaks with everyone. I also worked inside the groups during the content session as I would be already part of the company. It really made me feel like they have nothing to hide. The only negative thing to mention is that it took them another 2 to 3 months to make a final offer - I understood that was due to new projects being delayed to start.
