Dublin, DublinPosted Feb 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I went through an average-difficulty Consultant interview sequence split across multiple rounds, mixing behavioral themes with role-relevant case/risk discussion, and it felt fairly straightforward overall.

Round 1 (behavioral + past/future) — I discussed my past experience, future goals, and answered behavioral prompts and competency-related questions.
Round 2 (risk-focused case work) — I handled case studies centered on risk topics.
Additional interview days / stakeholders — I completed separate interviews on different days: one with a manager and another with an external auditor. Outcome: I didn’t receive an offer, but the structure helped me understand exactly what competency areas and risk thinking they valued.
