Interview
Was contacted by email asking me to complete an online video consisting of behavioral questions and fit.
About a week after, I was contacted and asked to complete a small case study to assess my technical skills. The entire process was pretty quick and the team in general was very nice.
Interview Questions
Nothing surprising. The online questions were pretty simple and you had two chances for each of the questions. The case itself was a pretty simple model, nothing to complicated given the position that was interviewing for.

Skills Test
Interview
Very fast and efficient hiring process. Applied late because they didn't look at applications until the deadline. Was contacted very soon after applying and given an in-house aptitude test which was a game format. The test didn't have much of a weighting with the application apparently. The interview was then very relaxed mostly behavioral and motivations of applying then a few about the M&A process and the state of the financial markets.
Interview Questions
Tell me about the M&A process at a high level from start to finish? , Tell me which sector you have an interest in and how do you think it will perform in the future?
