Colloquio
After several days I received an email asking me to complete a very thinly-veiled IQ test. This test takes roughly 90 minutes and you can only really take a break of any kind in the middle between the two parts. I felt like I done pretty well on it but found it very offputting all the same.
Two days after completing the test, I was told I had passed and would be forwarded to the next stage, the day after that I was told that I didn't match the requirements (this is presumably due to the gap since I graduated, during which time I was doing an internship, there isn't really anything else that didn't fit the role).
It's pretty hard to not be negative about a company who automatically asks you to complete a fairly time consuming challenge before they even glance over your resume.

Domanda 1
The first half is largely pattern recognition (e.g. something like 'guess the next number: 1, 4, 4, 7, 28, 10, 280, 13' except more complicated).
The second half is more just rapid fire calculations, "calculate how much interest is paid on this load in x years" type stuff. There's enough time to do them out by hand but unless there are two very similar options, you're best off estimating which choice is best
