I met Duff & Phelps at a career fair at my university, where I made contact and exchanged emails with the Recruiting team. After the CV + Cover Letter screen, the second round consisted of a phone screening interview (motivational and fit questions), after which I was invited to the final round at their offices. The final round consisted of motivational + fit questions with the head of the department, followed by a numerical + finance test. The test itself consisted of 6 logical/basic algebra questions (similar to GMAT questions), followed by 6 finance questions. Overall a very smooth and enjoyable process.

Interview
Months after applying, someone finally reached out to have me complete a 90 minute online assessment consisting of summarizing a foreign language article and doing research on some foreign entity. The assignment was sent to me a day early by mistake, so they had to resend another one at the correct time. The assessment was tedious as you have limited time and are not allowed to use dictionaries, which is bizarre and not at all a reflection of real life.
As far as interviews, there was a one lengthy phone interview with the recruiter. Then there was a group skype interview with four managers, two at a time. The skype interview was weird, the managers didn't seem at all prepared and they had me ask THEM a bunch of questions, to the point that I was starting to wonder when the actual interview would begin. After a week of silence, I inquired for results and got my rejection shortly thereafter via a boilerplate email.
Kroll seems like a mess and the people I spoke to had at best average credentials and education. It seems many of them get in as interns or analysts and then stay on. It doesn't seem like a place where a high-caliber, experienced professional would find rewarding work at a commensurate level.

I had two interviews, followed by psychometric tests. The entire process was straight forward. senior management were friendly and HR maintained good communication with me throughout the process. I was asked a combination of technical, competency and skills related questions.
