Colloquio
Post CV Submission, you receive an online assessment which lasts ~2 hours. It consists of 3 sections, the first 2 are graded. Section 1 tests your broad (basic) knowledge of Markets and Accounting (3 Statements). They are fast questions and you should know quick finance/accounting ratios off the top of your head. The second portion is a NeuroAssessment, similar to ones you might have seen before (i.e. Pymetrics games). Use your brain and take your time. The 3rd is a personality questionnaire. Even if you pass this assessment, you may be rejected.
