I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Capco (New York, NY) in Jun 2015
Interview
They called me for a phone interview first, and it was just a general run through of my resume and my background. What I know about Capco and what I like about the company. Was fairly painless.
Then got asked to come into NYC for an in-person round of interviews. I met with three different people and it was, again, running through my resume and what I knew about Capco and consulting. What kind of consulting the firm does. General information about who founded Capco, current president, and then a series of rapid fire questions (think along the lines of "if you could be any super hero, what super hero would you be and why?"). Then there was a team consulting day of interviews where you do two challenges (writing an email, and a mock group consulting case) as well as have lunch with the top executives and other capco employees. Overall, fairly relaxed and everyone was pretty welcoming and nice.
Welcoming, and engaging,they really tries to make young talents bond
and this year they had a group case interview for the second round, it was not super hard, but moreso to test communication and colloaboration skills.

Question 1
Behaviour - How did you management a disagreement at work?
I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Capco in Dec 2019
Interview
The initial hiring process was straightforward, online application, no cover letter required. Video interview (4 questions), assessment centre which involved a 15 minute multiple choice test (far too easy for a consulting company - mental maths not required), quick fire interviews, group case study then final interview with HR and someone senior if you pass the assessment centre. I am disappointed at HR’s effort to contact as I have been waiting over three weeks despite multiple calls and emails despite informing that they would provide a decision by the beginning of the week. Highly unprofessional compared to many other employers who keep each applicant informed.
