The interview process

Described in candidates’ own words.

It was a standard procedure. The process involved psychometric tests, and hire vue, then assessment centre. I didn't pass the hire vue stage. That's all I can say about the interview process.Candidate-reported process
The interview process was pretty standard, following what's outlined in common guides. If you're familiar with the 400-question guide, you should be well-prepared, as the interviews don't go beyond that material. You don't need to have a deep, fundamental understanding of banking itself.Candidate-reported process
The interview process starts with an automatic hireview, 4 basic questions with 3 tries for each, followed by one 20 minute first round interview over the phone, followed by 2 20 minute Superday zoom interviews, all interviews were with people in the group. Interview was for FIG.Candidate-reported process
