      Strategy Manager Interview

      1 Mar 2022
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Direct Line Group

      Interview

      Was contacted by the recruiter to attend an interview for an existing role, was informed what preparation was advised. Interviewed the following week, lasted a bit over an hour. Was informed I would be contacted for next steps, instead I was informed one week later the role was withdrawn over email. Which was disappointing after all the interview preparation.

      Strategy Manager Interview

      17 Apr 2012
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Direct Line Group in Mar 2012

      Interview

      The first contact was a phone interview (I had been referred to the job) with the head of the department where he told me about the opportunities and asked general CV questions. This was followed by one day of 1:1 personal interviews with the head of the department and 3 strategy managers. The first interview was a recap on the company and plans for the future, the second interview was a deep-dive on the CV (e.g., detail what you did here and there, outcomes, responsibilities), third a case study with typical consulting questions (e.g., number of phone booths in UK, a company XYZ is planning to invest X Million - is that a good idea? detail the thought process and do so quick calculations), the fourth was more of a Q&A session but didn't seem to have much purpose to be honest (probably a red flag there!) I was asked to wait for 2-3 weeks before getting their final answer (no offer), I guess they were probably comparing candidates during that time. Overall, I had a good feeling about the team (15-20 people) and the company. Everybody seemed very nice, engaged, and interested in continuing to develop the company as they split from RBS. The office has a canteen and the location is good (Bromley, 15-20min from London, 1stop by strain). On the flip side, I felt the roles were not clear for the strategy team members - everybody doing a bit of everything, in a pool environment -, and there didn't seem to be any women around (other than secretaries arranging for the meetings).
