I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Capco (New York, NY) in Sept 2011
Interview
First two interviews were phone screens where you speak with two different Capco employees. Very simple. Just walk them through your resume and sell yourself.
Third interview was three - thirty minute interviews with different employees in their office. 10 candidates rotate between different people during interviews.
Fourth round was Super Day. Final 25 candidates narrowed down to 10. Put in teams with other candidates for multiple case studies that you have to solve and present together. Also have "Quick Fire" round where you have 5 - five minute, individual interviews with different Capco employees.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
If you could be an animal, what would you be and why?
Working with people you have never met before on case studies and having to present them was much more difficult than any other the questions I was asked.
Very efficient process, took around 1 month and 3 weeks to go through CV - group case - individual interview - offer.
Group case is not standard consulting case interview, more close to "given a clear situation, bring out the best solution through teamwork".
Individual interview is quite straightforward comptency/fit questions. Why capco, why you, walk me through you CV etc.
Video interview consisted of straight forward questions: Introduce yourself, Why consulting, how your experience is beneficial for the job etc however then there was 10 seconds to prepare for final question with no chance to rerecord.
3 interviews total - program was canceled in the end due to budget constraints. Case study was quite vague but people seemed knowledgeable. Overall a pretty neutral experience but disappointing because of cancellation.
