I applied online and then the recruiter got in touch via phone. We discussed why I wanted to join a consultancy and my previous experience. The next stage was an interview with one of the senior consultants.

Vorstellungsgespräch

I was reached out by an HR representative who she set up a phone interview for an initial screening. Her original email took me to a website that shows her calendar and available slots to choose from which was convenient. The initial conversation was smooth, but she seemed a bit robotic and sounded like she was rushing through it. I had to take a SQL test as it was a necessary step for this position and she advised me to take it soon so she could provide a prompt feedback. I took the test on the same day through a website that records you while you are taking the test (it was a bit weird). The test kept being interrupted stating I wasn’t within the acceptable range of space which I was… I had to move around several times for it to recognize I was in the “range”. I'm not exactly sure how well or bad I did as I never received any feedback but I did struggle at first since I was not familiar with ANSI SQL. So I advise you do enough research before you take it. After a few days, I got a very confusing email from her with the exact same automated message used when she reached out to me for the first time; "Thank you for your interest ....I'd like to speak with you about the position". I wasn't sure if the email was sent mistakenly or she wanted to provide the feedback on the test result. So I took the same step and chose an available slot to schedule an interview. She never sent a meeting code when the interview was supposed to happen, and I sent her an email asking if she would provide one. She never responded. That was several months ago and I never got any type of auto rejection email. While I still think the company has interesting system and I wouldn't mind trying again, I would want to work with a recruiter who is professional and responsive. I might have not been the strongest candidate worth her time, she should be more respectful to people who take their time to show interest in the company she represents.

Vorstellungsgespräch

Got a Linkedin message from a recruiter. We had a phone call and the recruiter was very grumpy and rude. He wasn't interested in hearing my questions, constantly talked over me. He kept talking and talking and told me he was "only" pipelining and "might" hire me after 6 months or something. I asked him what kind of project would I be engaged as a data engineer, he said he didn't care about the first project, only cared about the second project. I wasn't asking what YOU care about. I asked if the salary would be market competitive, since it's consulting, he was very rude to respond to my question how it shouldn't be discussed. In case you don't know, recruiters around here DO GIVE a ball park range and whether it's market competitive. I'd never be interested in working in this company and I will tell others about my experience as well.

There is no clear process, the recruiter was so rude and even him he is not sure about the process and steps, got 3 interviews from 3 different people and the last one was a guy from Marketing. the hierarchy is not defined and they will not know or tell you even who's the hiring manager

Vorstellungsgespräch

I applied online. Within a week, HR contacted me to set up a phone interview. Over the next few weeks, I completed a couple round of in-person interviews, generally meeting at a coffee shop or near a client site because Centric does not have its own office.

Friendly, sharp, strong communicators - I was impressed with everyone I met. Too bad they didn't have the right project for my skills at the time.

The interview was a 3 stage process:

1st stage - phone interview. Nothing too complex. Behavioral questions.

2nd stage - interview in person with both the recruiter and the D&A Lead. Recruiter went over broad perspective of position and specifically, how consulting firms were different. Then, interview with D&A Lead was both behavioral and technical questions. A lot of questions were “what would you do” and “how would you solve.”

3rd stage - interview with the client. Overall, just wanted to know my skill set and if it would ultimately be beneficial to the company.

The whole interview process was around 2.5 to 3 weeks. Overall, good experience and no complaints.

At first I was very excited to receive a request for an interview, but some weird things transpired that made me uneasy about the company structure. First I was called without having the recruiter confirm an appropriate time to do so. Then, at the end of the call I was accidentally told 'i love you'.

This comes off as a very loosely structured business with low standards of professionalism.

It was a very strange experience.

Vorstellungsgespräch

I was interviewed by several of the staff at Centric Consulting, starting at the HR person with a basic screening. Then moving onto several with the direct report, which involved performing a SQL assessment in between and even assisted them on advice on a product that would solve a problem that they were experiencing. And finally, I was offered an opportunity in talking to one of the peers of the position, which turned out to be more of an interviewing of me and did not give me much opportunity to ask about the position, the company or the direct report. The end of the interviews result in a response that they were interested in me (as passed on by the HR person), but they had just taken on an assistant to the direct report and wanted to wait until that person had been onboarded (a couple of weeks expectation). After a month I tried following up with an email. I did not receive any response to the email. I again tried phoning the HR person, they did not take my call or return my voice message I left. Further emails were sent, resulting in them being read, but no response. I get it that they might have changed their minds about me, but it would be courteous to drop a simple email just letting me know, especially seeing that I had been through a total of more than 6 hours’ worth of interviews, not counting the time spent on the assessment. It is now 6 months after the whole process and I had moved on a long time ago, but I thought I would leave an update for future applicants looking at the position (Big Data Architect), which they are still advertising today, to just let the applicants know what type of people they are dealing with.
