Interview Details

What did the interview consist of?
Phone Interview
IQ / Intelligence Test
Please describe the interview / hiring process.
First, I have to apply online. The online application form consists of basic info and few competency based questions. Right after the submission, you will have to do verbal and numerical online test.

Two weeks later, you will be contacted by email for the phone interview. (which is like 3-4 days later)

My experience with the phone interview was not that good because apparently the interviewer is outsourced to somewhere (not london i am sure). We find it very difficult to understand each other due to the ascent...
Here are some questions I was asked:
- If you have 1m, how will you invest?
- what would you recommend to do towards the global economy?
- why private banking?
-why bar cap?

Overall, I would say the experience was quite bad as i find it very difficult to understand what the interviewer is trying to say...
