Group Technical

It was a full day event, that included two group discussions and a written test to assess domain knowledge. This process was quite tiring and seemed to favor certain candidates. I'd say consider this as a last resort. You'll have 3-4 invigilators evaluating you throughout the day.

Technical Behavioral Presentation

I had an online aptitude test first, which had some difficult questions. Then there was a part about alignment with core values, though some of my answers felt a bit unclear. After that, I did a recorded one-way interview where they asked about sustainability within the industry. The final stage was an online interview with three interviewers.

Technical Behavioral

It usually starts with a quick chat, like a phone or online interview, to see if you meet the basic requirements and if you're available. If that goes well, you'll get invited for more interviews. These might include technical questions, questions about how you've handled situations in the past, or even some practical tests. The whole point is for them to figure out your skills, what you've done before, and if you'd be a good fit for the job and the company vibe.
