Applied through a recruitment firm, 1st Stage: Phone Interview, HR consultant wanted to gauge what my motivations for joining the firm were, career goals and overall cultural fit within the firm 2nd Stage: Assessment day at the main office consisting of; 1) Delivering a 10 minute pre prepared presentation to senior practice members followed by Q&A for 15 mins followed by another 30 minutes of skills and competency based questions. 2) Delivering a 5 minute presentation on a case study with 30 mins prior to prepare and create on a power point deck to assist. Post the presentation and Q&Q lasting another 15 mins further interview questions lasting 45 mins focusing on experience, achievement, motivations and goals. 3) 30 minute Partner interview, quite informal, very informative and welcoming. Whole experience was very positive albeit very intense (3.5 hours from start to finish) interviewing came across very well, painted a very good picture of the company and came across as honest and approachable.

Step 1: Application Step 2: Interview with HR Manager (phone - culture focus) Step 3: Interview with Senior Consultant (in person - technical focus with presentation) Step 4: Interview with HR Manager and regional Managing Director (skype - culture and technical) Step 5: Offer From start to finish the entire process took two weeks, with the role starting two weeks after that, so be prepared for a rollercoaster! Overall I found the entire process to be efficient, thorough, professional and highly welcoming. Step 2: Interview with HR Manager The first interview was with the New York HR Manager, don’t get caught out here as unlike many other HR Managers I spoke to during my job hunt she is highly knowledgeable regarding Project Management. She made me feel comfortable and reassured my opinion that Pcubed was an organization I was interested in pursuing further. Be prepared to speak to Pcubed TRIPPLE values, know what they are and have anecdotes lined up to speak to your skill-set to them regarding each one. Step 3: Interview with Senior Consultant The second round interview was with one of Pcubed’s top consultants and his junior colleague in person in downtown Chicago. As we were operating on a pretty aggressive timeline, I had a day to pull together a presentation (10 minutes, PowerPoint, bring hard copies and USB) about my background and why I would be a good fit for Pcubed. Both consultants were highly professional and welcoming and they immediately made me feel at ease with their camaraderie. Step 4: Interview with HR Manager and regional Managing Director Due my regional location the third round interview was based on Skype with the leader for the New York Hub. It was a mixture of cultural and broad ranging technical questions, I felt it was largely a session to validate the opinions established in the first two interview rounds and to obtain management sign-off for a hire. The Managing Director was incredibly welcoming and his positive, transparent approach with an emphasis on self-development was a core reason why I accepted the offer from Pcubed.
