Behavioral Technical
At ING Luxembourg, the internship application process usually involves several steps. First, they screen your CV and cover letter. Then, you'll have a phone call with HR to go over your background, why you're interested, and your availability. After that, you'll meet with the hiring manager or the team to see if your technical skills are a good fit and if you match the company vibe. Sometimes, they might add a third interview or some tests. If everything checks out, ING will let you know and sort out the paperwork for the internship agreement.

Behavioral Technical
The whole process took about 2 months. It began with reviewing my CV and asking some basic motivational questions. This was followed by an online assessment covering intelligence/aptitude, situational questions, and behavioral questions related to ING's Orange Code. Throughout, a recruiter was in touch, providing guidance and preparing me for each stage, which felt personal and made me like the company more. Then, I was invited for a 1-hour in-office interview with the trainee manager and a previous trainee. They asked a lot about my motivation for the role, my chosen domain, and many situational questions (like 'Tell me about a time...'). They advised using the STARR method and preparing examples beforehand, especially based on the core competencies from the online assessment, as there wouldn't be enough time to think on the spot. The last stage was a business panel, but I wasn't invited to that.

Technical Behavioral Case Presentation
First, there was an interview with an Associate and Director focusing on technical skills and assessing my fit and intentions. They asked typical questions and evaluated my understanding of certain ratios and my background. Next, I had to complete a case study related to industry coverage, which I then presented to an Associate, Director, and VP/ED. This wasn't too easy; the main point of the presentation was to justify whether a bank should lend money and, if so, how to structure it to best reduce risks. Finally, I waited to hear if an offer or rejection was extended.
Confirmed questions2 questions
