It started with an online personality test which took about 30 mins, you really need to answer it with a team-first, empathetic approach to pass. If you pass that, you'll move on to a group assessment. I was in a group of 5, though 2 didn't show up. The back end of the store was quite run down. The assessment itself was just the 3 of us discussing 5 customer scenarios for 20 mins. After that, there was a short 10 min interview, where they didn't even ask for my passport.
