PTOLEMUS Consulting Group Interview Questions

3-steps process, well-managed. HR was focusing on past experience and a lot on future career and work-related questions, which is good as it enables both parties to really assess the potential match...

Premier contact avec le RH, suivi d' un entretien type RH sur les motivations et les expériences, ensuite entretien avec le directeur terminé par une étude de cas type market sizing

It was a very professional experience, best interview experience that I have had so far. I had 3 interviews and at every step, HR checked in to guage my interest level and take my questions or concerns. The people I interviewed with were nice and engaging and the interview exposed me to a lot about the mobility industry. Ptolemus is definitely going places and I plan to keep an eye on them.

Conclusion: entreprise ridicule se trompant sur mon lieu d'embauche préféré. Déroulement: Il s'agit d'un entretien vidéo de 20 minutes pour connaître mes motivations pour le poste. Visiblement l'interviewer ne connaît pas vraiment mon lieu d'embauche préféré (Paris au lieu de Bruxelles) en répétant plusieurs fois sur l'ambiance de travail du bureau de Bruxelles. Leur offre est pourtant basée à Paris, elle n'a pas non plus compris le secteur d'activité d'un acteur comme BNP Paribas (ma dernière expérience).

I had four interviews with Ptolemus, 2 by Skype and 2 face-to-face interviews in Paris Office. Overall, It is a very bad experience. The whole process took me three months with four interviews but there is no response in the end, not even a reject letter. I received the first contact in March 2016 by HR Director. The whole process took me three months. I did not receive any feedback after the fourth interview. I sent 3 emails and called to try to get some feedback but they never replied. The first interview is skype interview with HR Director based in Brussels. The questions focus on the personal background, motivation, understanding about Ptolemus, future career plan. (March 2016) The second interview is face to face interview with a senior consultant in Paris office. Interview questions include 2 case studies about their main expertise and some general questions. (April 2016) The third interview is another face interview with HR Director in Paris office. Interview questions include a case study and some general questions: motivation, why Ptolemus, why this industry/ sector? (April 2016) The fourth interview is skype interview with Research Director based in London. Interview questions are about their main professional area, the Mobility Ecosystem. (May 2016) Then I got no response from Ptolemus after the fourth interview. I send 3 follow letter every 2-3 weeks after the fourth interview but they never replied. Overall, It is a very bad experience. The whole process took me three months with four interviews but there is no response in the end, not even a reject letter. I waited a month and finally gave up.

3 entretiens: 1 premier entretien sur skype avec le fondateur, un second avec son associé sur Paris et enfin un dernier entretien physique avec le fondateur sur Paris. Les entretiens servent à évaluer la motivation, les compétences et l'autonomie pour le poste de consultant en stratégie au sein d'une structure entrepreunariale en développement. Chaque entretien a comporté une étude de cas de type market sizing ou résolution de problème de logique simple pour évaluer la capacité à structurer son raisonnement et la présentation de résultats.
