Behavioral Presentation

It was a good experience and felt more like a casual chat than a formal interview. The panel was very friendly and not overly serious. A role-play exercise was the most engaging part of the interview process.

Your second interview would be through Microsoft Teams where you engage with a recruiter one on one, and the last one being with a panel of three people (team leaders).

Behavioral Case Other

The interview process was split into several stages, where I met different people from the client support team. It was a positive experience overall; they are good at making you feel comfortable. Each stage involved meeting a different team member and tackling challenges representative of a typical day at the bank.
