Behavioral Technical
The interview process felt very rigid and scripted, like there wasn't much room for genuine conversation with the interviewers. They stuck to a set of pre-written questions and didn't really offer any feedback on my answers. I usually prefer interviews where I can also learn about the company and my potential coworkers, but this felt very one-sided, more like an interrogation than a mutual exploration.

The process was pretty simple - first a role play type of thing, then the main interview which was all about competencies. It took about 40 minutes. It was a bit stressful not knowing if I was making a good impression.

Very in depth Firstly a telephone screening Then a numerical psychometric test Then a competency based interview with the manager Then a interview with the Head of Dept This is a very structured process so it's v important to have read widely on FCA, key speeches and also have your own views about what's important
