Awesome. Kind of a relief to hear the phone interviews are less technical. I'm thinking the on-site interviews will be case-type problems so that buys me some time to prep.

Hopefully yours went well @BullMkt

 

It should be pretty much straight forward. As an associate, they dont require you to have much business experience. What they look for is pure analysts (those who have good excel and powerpoint skills, interest in finance and the markets, educational background and can fit into the culture of the firm).

As usual, it depends on the interviewer. You may get someone who is laxed and just want to make sure you have a brain on your shoulders or someone who wants to try to ask you those ridiculous "consulting" questions.

My suggestions are to show interest in the company (ask about new deals/projects), have firm understanding of financial services, show eagerness to work and learn and have personality and you will be fine.

So is this place legitimate or is it just "body shop" like what 3/4 of the reviews on Glassdoor say?

It's a legitimate body shop. Projects are mostly 12 months + so it's staff aug. Turnover is super high bc "Change Bank" initiatives rebadge the clients staff and move to India.

The interview process for ATP is a complete joke and 1 should question their viability in the corporate world if you can't get an offer. I've given ATP interviews and if you consider any ?s technical then you'd shit your pants during a McKinsey interview. Have to question whether the skills are transferable.

Ultimately, it's a resume killer and you'll have to do a whole lot of window dressing for this spot on your resume.

 

Capco is a consultant for the financial services industry. I believe it is a outsourcer and nearsourcer of middle and back office functions such as IT/fixed income documentation/trade support. It's an okay job to be in and gets pretty close to finance as it is basically middle office, but its not what everyone on this website is shooting for.

The reason why Capco's website is so vague is because the work that you will be doing will be so specific and the skills are almost untransferable that its impossible to describe.
