Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite l'università. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Deutsche Bank (Parigi) nel mese di mar 2019
Colloquio
3-4 rounds of interviews. Very good experience through and through: great people, work looks definitely interesting, very smooth recruiting process.
First interview focusing entirely on fit (why DB, what would you do differently if you were the CEO, why the group management consulting team, etc). Really great, engaging and passionate interviewer. You need to clearly understand the purpose of an in-house consulting team and demonstrate an understanding of the bank and of its challenges.
Second/third focusing mostly on case studies. Cases were fairly typical but focused on high level operational issues rather than blue-sky strategy - in line with the team's projects). Then again, these people were impressive, pleasant and conversational during and after the cases. Rigorous assessment during the case (focusing, as usual, on structure, business judgement/industry knowledge, communication and some amount of quantitative reasoning) and interesting discussions about the team.
Was rejected because of one of the cases, with some feedback from HR.
Fourth and last round is about fit.
Quick process and rapid feedback. Professional, high-caliber and personable people doing high-impact work.
Got through the first 3 rounds smoothly and currently on hirevue. The cognitive and math parts where quite easy so nothing for anyone to worry about. Waiting to complete the hirevue now so will update this afterwards

Colloquio
Online video interview - I think it was Hirevue, 3 asynchronous questions. The first question is a combination of why the company and why the specific role - this was quite time pressured

Question 1: essentially, why Deutsche Bank and why the specific division you have chosen
Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite un selezionatore. La procedura ha richiesto 2 mesi. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Deutsche Bank (Frankfurt am Main) nel mese di ott 2024
Colloquio
I went through 6 rounds of case studies, Personal fit and HR interviews and it took them 2 weeks to get back to me. I had several years of previous experience in a top management consulting boutique which included a large project with DB for almost 12 months, so I also had internal references. In the meantime I did an MBA and received an award as most inspiring students from my peers and professors. In the final feedback I was told the junior team did not feel comfortable around me, specifically one person that I had one of the 6 interviews with. They did not consult my internal references or previous employer, where I led several social initiatives on top of my consulting work, to get more insights on how people’s experiences of working with me had been. I was very disappointed with the process and also irritated that one junior could outvote the rest of the team and that they did not diligence this specific area more. Even though I was encouraged to apply again at a later time, I will definitely not consider.
