Please describe the interview / hiring process.
So afer having done SHL tests, you get an invitation for a telephone interview or a first round interview in their head office in London. All people in the assessment center advanced through interviews in the head office so I strongly advise you to avoid a telephone interview.

I was the only continental European in the assessment center, they are very Oxbridge minded and have a strong UK focus. You get brainteasers, motivational questions and almost no technical questions. I had to prepare a stock pitch on beforehand for a company they gave me. They will not give you easy companies, but do not ask technical questions neither. I failed because of the group case study that was very UK focused and I failed to bring a good input. Too bad...

P.S.: They do not test language skills at all.
