I only got to the first interview stage, which was a motivational interview. They ask a lot of questions related to their company, and reading up on case studies is super helpful because they expect you to know that. I'd guess the assessment center would be similar to other finance companies. The team is really helpful with feedback.

Behavioral Technical Presentation Case
The whole process from applying to finishing took about 2 months. First, you submit an online application. Then, you answer 5 motivation questions, each up to 250 words. After that, there's a telephone interview focusing on your motivations and competencies. Next is the Assessment Centre, which includes a pre-assessment task where you analyze big data and create a presentation of your findings. This is followed by a technical interview and a situational interview. Finally, there's an independent case study task with a Q&A session afterward.
