The interview process was really well structured. The assessment day lasted all day, but it felt pretty chill and gave us a chance to chat with analysts at different levels (junior and senior) to learn more about the areas we were most interested in. The latter part of the day included a group discussion that was like a logical reasoning/debate activity. Senior analysts were there, watching how we debated, reasoned, and applied logic.

The process started with my CV, then some written answers, and prerecorded interviews. After that, there was an assessment centre with speed interviews and a stock pitch. A networking event was also part of it, which wasn't really an interview, but it was a good chance to make an impression.
