First, there was an aptitude test, then a technical interview with the team leader where they did live coding and asked some basic finance questions. After that, an assessment center took place, which involved analyzing a case study and giving a 15-minute presentation on it, followed by a 30-minute group discussion. Finally, there was an HR interview.

Had one of the worst interview experiences. They seemed unsure about the team they were hiring for. The salary offer was low. I was asked to go through 6 interview rounds for two different teams. It was a complete waste of time with no outcome from HR. The actual interview process had 4 rounds: two technical, one manager round, and finally an HR round. The first two rounds focused on business analyst skills, Agile concepts, basic SQL queries, and in-depth questions about SWIFT messages and ISO 20022. The manager round involved situational questions, why Societe Generale, and reasons for switching from my previous company.
