Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto 2 mesi. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Kroll (Londra, Inghilterra) nel mese di nov 2016
Colloquio
Applied online with my CV and a few weeks later was contacted by a member of HR wanting to book a telephone interview. Fairly straightforward telephone interview. Was then invited to Assessment Day with 7 other people which involved a numerical test, a case-study exercise in teams of 2 or 3 which was then presented to two employees from the Valuations team, lunch with existing employees and 3 interviews after lunch.
Assessment Day was rather strange in terms of the difficulty of the numerical tests without a calculator in addition to not being told to bring a calculator which was needed for the case-study when calculating a DCF. If you did not have a calculator like my group you were expected to perform a DCF on a mobile phone calculator which is quite ridiculous.

Colloquio
First round interview was virtual. Was shown interview questions prior to recording my answers, and had unlimited time to prepare before answering. There were quite a few question, though I was able to take as much time as needed to prepare.
Overall average interview including dcf and other valuation approaches focus including precedents and market multiples , overall capital markets knowledge might also be useful including knowledge about what kroll does
Multiple rounds, first phone interview. Then flown into office where we did interviews with some of the team members, then a case study with other interviewees and presented to the team and had lunch after. Later received a phone call.
