Colloquio
Interview was the final stage of the assessment centre for a training contract with the firm. Conducted by a partner and a senior associate from different teams and lasted approximately 1h45.
First ~45 minutes were spent answering technical questions related to the written assessment task. Final hour was more general interview / competency based questions. Some difficult questions in there, but both interviewers were very friendly and overall a really positive experience.

It was difficult, just like what was mentioned on the website. It’s typical mc firm style. I didn’t manage to complete it at last. However, the process is rewarding.
