Associate
We start with a CV and cover letter screening. If that goes well, you'll need to write a 500-word essay on a given topic. If your essay is good, we'll invite you for interviews at our London office. The first interview round has four 30-minute one-on-one chats with different people from the company.
- Can you tell me about a situation where you stepped outside your comfort zone?
