The interview process felt structured but still friendly. They clearly explained what the hiring process would look like. They also gave a good explanation of the role itself. I had the chance to ask questions about the company culture, the work environment, and how work is set up, and they took the time to answer them. The interviewer was clear about what they were looking for in a candidate and the expectations for the position.

So first there was this interview with HR where they asked about my goals and motivations, and also threw some general problems at me. Then the second interview was about my past accomplishments and what kind of system I'd like to make. They will ask more questions depending on how good they think your concept is. Being "correct" does not matter, they are looking for how you solve problems. Then they filter the candidates. I got shortlisted, but I declined.

After passing two exams, there are several interview stages. Note that they eliminate some applicants after each exam. The interview phases include: meeting with HR, then with senior business analysts, then with the business analyst manager, and finally a group discussion exam. The first three stages are generally about your personality, and they explore your skills and experiences to see how you'd fit in the company. The last exam tests how you'll perform when the rest of the team is present. This process took a very long time, so long that I had to sign a job offer before it was completed. In a similar job application, the team discussion happened on the same day as the written exams, which was a good way to schedule a few people in the same room. The process was good at the start because you know they choose their employees carefully. However, the turn-off comes from reviews found here and in other forums, and also from stories of friends of friends who worked there.
