Various rounds leading to an Assessment Centre.
AC was a half day featuring various 1-1 and 2-1 interviews as well as a case study and group task. Case study was related to company industry and products. Group task was open format and fun.

Colloquio
The process started with a skills assessment, then a first-round behavioral with two interviewers, and finally an in-person superday that lasted almost six hours. The superday included three behavioral interviews, a group case, and an individual case study, and honestly it didn’t even feel like there was enough time to properly finish the case.
Overall, I was pretty disappointed with the process. They really dragged it out, from the start of interviewing to potentially getting an offer, it’s close to four months. The vibe of the company also felt kind of depressing, and some of the first year analysts running the superday came across as a bit unprofessional and occasionally condescending.
Also, for a role paying around $80K in a very high cost-of-living city, a 5–6 hour superday with case studies feels a little excessive. On top of that, there’s no real clarity on which rotations you end up in or how much training you actually receive, so the program just felt pretty unstructured overall.

Colloquio
Teams interview, basic interview questions. Two interviewers who rotated asking questions. No technical stuff, having no tech experience will not hinder you. Go in knowing a bit about the financial market.

Superday which consisted of a presentation to two people that was prepared on the spot, pitching one of their products to a simulated business situation. Virtual interview in an office - this one felt impersonal and like the decision was made already.
