Candidate-reported interview process

The interviewer was super friendly and asked competency-based questions about my motivations for applying, what I knew about the role and programme, and what I knew about the company.

The process was good and kept up to date. They encouraged me to reach out with any questions. It started with a screening call from a recruiter, and then I was invited for an in-person interview. The environment was nice and friendly, and I felt welcome. Unfortunately, I didn't get the job.

So, first there was a prerecorded video interview and then some online tests/games. After that, I had an online video chat with 2 people, which was about 30 minutes long. They asked a bunch of stuff about their values and why I wanted to work in Finance, specifically at BAE. Also, what I could contribute to the company.
