Anyone interviewing with Monitor Deloitte Germany?

Question

Hello everyone! I was invited to the “interview day” of Monitor, a full day with case (written cases) and fit interviews and a final decision at the end.

Is anyone else also invited for this summer? We could share thoughts and practice together!

If someone already went to their “interview day”, - I would love to hear if you have some suggestions to sucessfully master the day:)

Answer 1

Hi there!

Congrats! This sounds like an assessment centre type of experience.

Try to squeeze as much out of Google as possible and also reach out to the recruiter for a high-level structure of what to expect during the assessment centre day (they won't tell you the exact exercises, but at least you'll find out some things).

The assessment centre that I was part of was in London, for the advisory branch of a Big4 company. The entire process lasted for about five hours or so. If I remember correctly, these were the main elements during the day:

Meet and greet. We were a group of about 8 candidates. We were given the chance to introduce ourselves to each other and then to the recruiting team. We were given an overview of what will happen during the day.
Written test. I don't remember what it contained, but I assume it was the standard: numericals, inductive reasoning, verbal reasoning, etc.
Joint case done as a team. This was the longest part, requiring us to solve a case together in a group of four or so, agree on the conclusions, ask for data, create a presentation and then present to the recruitment team.
Lunch. You can imagine what happened here :)
Role-play. They had hired actual actors to play demanding or angry clients. We were meant to interact with them, present something, convince them or obtain additional information.
Q&A. This was a short Q&A at the end if we had any other questions about the firm or the recruitment process.
We were then sent home and we got a call the next day with the result.

Best,
Cristian

Answer 4

Hi there,

Congrats on the invite!

I actually have a huge folder of about 15 real written cases from past companies.

Make sure you first practice casing itself. All of those fundamentals (structured thinking, fast/efficient chart reading, etc.) are critical in written cases.

Then, practice a range of written cases prior to the day itself. Importantly, you want to simulate the live experience as much as possible.
