The interview process wasn't too tough, pretty standard. It involved five stages initially, with some Excel and knowledge testing. Towards the end, they decided to add a sixth round to finalize their decision.

Behavioral
I applied online and about a week after, a recruiter from aonhewitt reached out to schedule a phone screen. We coordinated via email for the initial call, which was mostly behavioral questions. The recruiter mentioned she'd pass her notes to the hiring manager, and if he was interested, he'd reach out. She also hinted that the next interview, if I got it, would be more intense behavioral questions, focusing on past actions rather than hypothetical ones. I did get the second interview with the branch manager. We had a good connection, but ultimately I didn't get the job. Both the recruiter and manager were upfront about the competitive nature of the role, mentioning other candidates and internal applicants. I appreciated their honesty. Overall, it was a positive experience, and I'm still interested in other roles here.
