We started with an application, then there was an online test on Arctic Shores. After that, a pre-recorded interview with two questions about your fit and recent market news. Then, an HR interview which was just a preliminary stage before the assessment centre. Finally, the assessment centre itself, which included a group task, a presentation, and a technical interview.
