Technical Behavioral
It started with a cool phone chat, then we went to an in-person assessment centre where they checked how we communicate, our commercial sense, how we work in a team, and if we'd fit in culturally. It was both technical and non-tech.

Technical Behavioral Presentation
It was a long process but gave a really good feel for the team and how everyone worked together. Lots of the time it felt more like a chat than a formal interview. Started with 3 interviews, then an investment pitch where we had a 30 min follow-up discussion. After that, there were 2 more interviews, finishing with HR and the global head of equity. The questions weren't meant to trick you; they were more about showing your thinking and how you deal with tough situations. Overall, a good experience!

Had a quick behavioral chat with HR first. Then, I went through 3 separate 30-minute calls with the heads of different departments. Everyone was really nice and helped me out when I got stuck on a few things.
