Group Presentation Behavioral

It was a three stage interview process. It consisted of a combination of individual and group interviews (with other potential hires). A scenario was provided the night before the individual interview for you to prep and you would discuss your approach during the one-to-one interview. The group interview had a similar approach but the scenarios were given on the spot and you were monitored while prepping together to see how each person worked on the team.

Behavioral Technical

First, I filled out an online application, detailing my background and why I was applying. Then, I took some online psychometric tests, including verbal and numerical reasoning. The next stage was a video interview focused on the role and my understanding of it. I didn't pass this video interview, so I didn't make it to the final assessment centre stage.

Technical Behavioral Case Group

The interview process is quite thorough, starting with an online test that includes psychometric and verbal reasoning. After that, there's a telephone interview conducted by a third-party recruitment company. If you pass that stage, you'll be invited to a 2-day assessment center. This assessment center has 4 main parts: a group exercise, a face-to-face interview, a role-play activity, and a case study exercise.
