[QUOTE="Jaysen, post: 890, member: 1"] [B]When was your Clyde & Co interview? [/B] February 2018 [B] What was it for? [/B] Vacation scheme [B]Please describe the interview process at Clyde & Co.[/B] I attended an assessment centre at Clyde & Co's office in London. There were two slots to choose from (one in the morning and one in the afternoon) on each day for about a week. The day is not long but there are a few different exercises, a 'meal' with trainees, a group exercise, a tour of the office, and an interview with a member of HR and a partner. For me personally I think that the sheer amount of applicants that they interview means that there is little interest taken by most of the people who work there, trainees were not very friendly and the tour consisted of a visit to the canteen (we were not allowed in the office areas). On my group there was 8 of us and quite a few knew grad rec very well which made it seem like less than a fair process. But I know others who interviewed here and did not have the same experience. [B]What advice would you give to future applicants about the Clyde & Co interview?[/B] The group exercise is similar to most, a negotiation style with 4 applicants advocating for their own project while two members of HR sit in. There was not much time given and within this you must prepare your own pitch and answer written questions in a booklet. The interview is difficult because it is with HR and a partner, and the format makes it so that the questioning is alternated so you answer a competency style question then a commercial or personal one, so it seems a bit disjointed. I think the interview is the key part of the day, the HR questions are very typical competency style, while the partner questions centre on commercial issues and questions about things you have been involved in.
