The interview process was pretty well organized and went pretty smoothly. It kicked off with a first chat about my background and if I was interested in the job. Then, I had more in-depth interviews where we talked about my past experiences, how I approach problems, and how I think about real business scenarios. Some questions were behavioral, and others were more analytical, testing how I'd handle pressure.

After the HireVue, I had a 30-minute phone interview which was the first round. The interviewer asked me to introduce myself and a lot of technical questions related to my CV, as well as general questions about derivatives and motivation. Then, there were two 30-minute video interviews for the second round. It seems like an assessment center might follow this.
