Interview Questions & Answers - Capco Examples
Associate Interview - Generalist
Associate Talent Programme Interview - Management Consulting
Heard back a month later that I was invited to an online video interview. I had to answer pre-recorded questions and film myself. Questions were mostly about fit, interest in the company, and industry insights. Had 1 min to prepare and 30 seconds to answer to about 5 questions. Also had a trick question asking "How many 5p coins can fit in a football field".
One month later (now mid-December) HR reached out to invite me to the assessment centre in the first part of January. Agreed on dated but didn't get an answer from HR despite multiple follow ups that they had to move me to a later date. At the later agreed upon date this happened to me again, rince and repeat, even a third time.
Finally, at the assessment centre with about 40 other students, all on Teams. Had an intro talk with HR discussing process and telling us we'd be split up in two groups. The first group would be having a group case study followed by a presentation and Q&A. The second group would start with a set of three, quick-fire, one-on-one interviews with current consultants. All behavioural and quite easy. It was in Teams breakout room so when time is done you're automatically brought back to the main room which doesn't allow for questions to the interviewer or even thanks.
Back to main room with Q&A with HR and consultants.
Heard back two days after that I got to final round consisting of 30 mins with HR and 30 mins with Partner.

Then you will be broken into groups based on a color on your name tag.
The three stations include: rapid fire, group case study, and meeting minute challenge.
There's a small 10 minute break after each challenge.
The day end with lunch, a partner panel, and then panel led by other AOs.
Advice:
Rapid Fire: There'll be a combination of behavioral questions and brain teasers.
Group case study: Use the white board in the room and pay attention to time. Take the time to actually breakdown who will speak about what.
Meeting Minute Challenge: This will seem extremely mundane but this part of the interview has an actual scoring rubric so do your best!
Partner Panel: Don't be the guy who asks "What do you love about consulting?" or based on regulatory XYZ, "what will Capco's response be."
General culture:
Meh. I don't honestly think anyone believes they are doing the sexiest work, but that said some people make their closest friends and mentors here. As an AO, don't make the mistake of making a strong alliance to a specific partner.
The brainteasers are definitely the hardest. Some of the answers I knew immediately, but I needed to pretend I had heard them before.
* How many gas stations are there in the US?
* How many light bulbs are in the building?
The case study is a little easier when it comes to answering questions, since you can punt it and the responsibility to answer falls on the entire group. The trick here is to answer eloquently when you answer and assist gracefully.

What do you know about Capco?
Case question had to do with increasing revenues for a company that was having difficulty in acquiring new customers and having problems with their outreach in general. You had to come up with a strategy with your group in a span of 30 minutes and then present it to the evaluators as if they were the clients.
