I have a fırst round ıntervıew wıth PA next week. Does anyone have any tıps ? What are PA lıke ? Do you know anythıng about them?Thanks s

what practice and what do you want to know?Decent firm. By far from one of the top ones but better than many for certain areas.

Which areas would you say they excell compared to competitors apart from government? How do you rate their FS and SMP practice?

You're looking at grad recruitment? My ratings for PA's current recruiting areas are(1=excellent; 2=good; 3=solid)Business Operations: 2Decision Sciences: 1Energy: 3Financial Services: 3Government: 1IS Implementation: 2IT Infrastructure: 2IT Management: 2People & Organisational Change: 2Project Management: 2Strategy & Marketing: 3Technology & Innovation: 1Obviously some overlap due to service/industry overlap. These are my current ratings - check out the MCA awards for past performance record.

And what do you base these ratings on?

Just my interpretations of the commentary on the internal benchmarking reports from last year. They should still be on the intranet someplace if you have access or can get someone there to snoop for you.
