I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Capgemini (London, England)
Interview
The first is a Phone screening via a recruitment agency. The agent goes through your CV and pulls out what may be relevant to the role being interviewed for.
The face to face interview with two people who are likely to be peers follows. The ask tech questions, and require you to read an unseen case.
Finally a Senior management one-to-one phone interview (the head of dept chat). This part is straightforward and is used in part to set salary.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
F2F interview:
- Went over case study. The relatively straightforward case study makes it clear that the job is a consultancy delivery role. You have forty minutes to read the case and prepare a presentation. Twenty minutes Q&A.
- Then, 30 minutes of general technology discussion.
- Finally, 10 minutes of Questions from you.
The senior management interview was not really an interview. The ulterior motive was to see how low an offer they could make i.e. it was to prepare me for a low offer. The typical consultancy spiel of "Enterprise scale" and related BS was used to low ball an offer. The senior manager though was not versed enough in the technology to realise that the tools that are available automatically take care of the "enterprise" problems he mentioned.
Interview take place from resume. Whatever mentioned on Resume was asked. Projects mentioned especially Gen AI Projects, what models used, evaluation metrics used. What is FastAPI, PCA, experience with cloud deployments.
