I applied through their online portal and after two weeks, I got an invitation for an aptitude test. I passed that and was invited for the next stage, but unfortunately, I didn't make it. I'm determined to try again someday. The test included CPA-style questions, financial reporting, and AFM, along with some HR-related numerical and reasoning questions.

I got an email about the written test about two weeks after the application deadline, maybe a bit longer but definitely under three weeks. A week after that, I took the written test. Then, a week after the test, I got an email saying I passed and had an interview scheduled for about 10 days later. The interview was all about competencies, not really testing my finance knowledge, and it lasted around 25 minutes. About four weeks after the interview, I received an email with bad news.
