The interview process

Described in candidates’ own words.

First, I did an online assessment with questions on culture fit and situational questions. After passing this round, I was invited to a one day group virtual assessment with multiple back to back interviews with senior middle managers.Candidate-reported process
This was a series of HVs and personality questions along with some data analysis questions. I also had to reply to emails professionally as if I were in the workplace, amongst other tasks.Candidate-reported process
It was a pretty chill process overall, with 3 interviewers. One focused on behavioral questions, another on motivation, and the third on technical aspects like market movements, company evaluations, and economic trends. The behavioral part was tough due to time constraints for answering each question.Candidate-reported process
