Please describe the interview process and assessments.
Very thorough. Big process that was maybe a little too long.
Graduate, Adelaide
Process was application, online testing and assessments, online interview, assessment centre, additional online testing, final interview. Online assessments and testing were aimed at gauging an understanding of candidates work styles and ethic along with their aptitude. Assessment centres provided an opportunity for candidates to demonstrate their ability in both an individual written piece and a team based oral activity both within a financial services based scenario. Interview was more narrowly focused on individuals background and interests and sharing information with the candidate to determine whether the bank is the right fit.
