Here are the most commonly searched roles for interview reports -
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Terra Firma Capital Partners in Jan 2018
Interview
First step was a recorded video interview with the usual fit questions. Following that I was invited to a telephone interview which was more in-depth but again, not rocket science.
Terrible communication skills though. Following the phone interview I was told that I would hear back regarding an assessment day soon I later spoke to a friend who works there that told me that the final assessment day has taken place a week before my phone interview. A shocking waste of time
I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Terra Firma Capital Partners (London, England) in Dec 2013
Interview
Applied for London position. Was a bit of a ridiculous hiring process - managed through city HR firm Dartmouth Partners. I initially sent in email then did some online tests. I received an unannounced phone call at ~6pm from a Dartmouth girl who wanted to ask a series of questions. I understand that they probably want to catch you unaware to see how you react on your feet, but it was a bit awkward and ridiculous as I was in the middle of something fairly important. Anyways, I somehow managed to get through that initial telephone process and got asked into an interview at their London office. As is apparently the norm with Dartmouth, I received an invitation to interview on the Monday and then was only able to select interview spots at London in the very same week - I could only attend the Wednesday slot, due to other fairly pressing commitments and as I was coming from Oxford and was working all day Tuesday,I only had around 1 hour in total to prepare for the interview. Given that this was my first interview in about 2-3 years, i was certainly under prepared.
Again, i'm sure this lack of time/ requirement to drop everything is intentional - but i bet that a lot of excellent candidates slip through their hands through doing this. And to be honest, who want to work somewhere where they'd treat you like you're their little b*tch anyways? You'd never be able to plan anything!
