Colloquio
Beforehand, you have to complete a general online test procedure (Hudson test), where your basic 'intelligence' is tested. This test consists of two parts: solving puzzles with geometric shapes, where they test your speed of thought. The second test measures your ability to absorb information, you have to read short paragraphs and you will be questioned regarding the information from the text (eg "which statement is most true"...). The interview itself (~ a week later) is relatively short. It was a fruitful conversation with one of the associates where you present yourself and answer some questions.

Colloquio
Started with an online application, submitting a CV and filling out a short questionnaire, followed by an online test. After that I got invited to an in-person interview in two parts. One was a group work on a case study done with other candidates, followed by individual interviews with a member of the team.
