good process, just bad with getting back within resonable time, which led to long process. Good interviews with good questions but difficult tests which seemed a bit too unnecessary for the role itself. Seemed to not be any communication between the different persons which led to similar questions
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Calculate the costs of two different scenarios and which way is the best for the costumer
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at BearingPoint (Paris) in Sep 2023
Interview
It was a pretty bumpy experience in general mainly due to the complexity from HR team...
1. HR team not aware of the correlation between my dual application. I applied first through their career platform, got rejected. I reach out to school alumni right after, got interviewed instantly... but during the interview with the same HR that rejected me, obviously this HR is not at all aware of my dual application process and wasn't able to justify the different decision
2. HR team mistook the interview slot. HR team phoned me 30 mins before the scheduled time with no explanation or anticipation. And of course, this colleague is again not aware of this.
3. Quite belated feedback. According to HR during interview, this HR mentioned clearly that they will give a quick feedback to me as not being a native speaker is irritating (in this HR's own words:"gênant") (the language is also an issue...) that they will verify with their team asap. 10 days after the call, no feedback at all.
4. Insist on categorizing my international full-time job experience (over 1 year) as internship experience even after my justification. Quite speechless on this move, don't feel respected...
To conclude, interesting projects & very nice consultant team (being quite responsive to my "reach out"), but a huge space of improvement for HR team.

Question 1
- Why BearingPoint? - What are your actual contribution to certain previous projects? - Why choosing this BU?
I applied online. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at BearingPoint in Aug 2023
Interview
Had a screening call with the HR person, who kept yawning from the start of the interview (super demoralizing) and then totally ghosted me for the next 4 weeks. I gave up all hope after 3 follow-up emails, but then he reached out asking if I would be available for face-to-face interviews the coming Friday. I responded yes, and then he did not reply with any details about the interview. Two days before the interview, he asked if the next Friday would work for me instead. I again responded yes, and then he again did not reply with any details (despite two follow-up emails) and then a day before the interview, emailed saying the interview would not take place. Very frustrating candidate experience, extremely unprofessional recruiter.
