Before the interview, you have a research and language assessments which I had 90 minutes to complete (4 media articles in two different foreign languages to analyze in English, and a case test where you have to conduct adverse media research in a limited time). If you pass those two exercises which are really tough, you get accepted for an interview. I had two interviews, which were fairly standard.

During the interview with the analysts, I was presented with a series of technical questions that delved into the iSEC regulations and the regulatory industry as a whole, highlighting the analyst's expectation for a solid foundation of knowledge in these areas.
