got an invitation to do a "Cultural Video Interview" with Trafi for a grad program. Had no idea tradehouses even did this...sounds like a hireview to me. Any insights on what they ask/what the process is like?

How was it? I just got an invitation for the cultural video interview too. Plan on doing it tomorrow. Assume it's all behavioral but could be wrong
How did it go?
Went well. It was just their version of a hireview. 5 questions that were all behavioral (A time you failed, conflict with a team member, working with a diverse team etc). Got invited to the technical portion after.
hey!! im interested in Trafigura.. whats that interview/assesment like??
Seems like this is new
Interested to hear if anyone has done this yet
Same, how was it if you already took it?
And stupid question: is it for 2020 or 2021? Did not see any information regarding the starting date...
I think the start date varies on when you graduate/if you’ve already graduated. Could be wrong though
2021
Anyone know if you're supposed to apply to the location in which you have right to work?
I think it is important, especially for locations like the US or EU. Last year I applied as a fresh graduate. After the interview with the Swiss office, the HR called back to say: actually the results were exceedingly good. However, for visa concerns they would not proceed.
Are graduates from past year (2016,2017,2018) allowed to apply for this programme?
Culture at trading houses. is VERY important... just be yourself. They want to see that they can sit with you and interact with you for 50 hours a week for 10-20 years. Because remember, once you hit the trading floor the only promotion is retirement.
Do you mind talk a bit more that? I am really curious. Especially, a lot of people say Traf values it more than any other trading houses. A lot of former applicants, myself included, felt that the moment you step in they had already judged your character. My friend, who interviewed, eventually went to LDC. She says she could still feel it when she interacts withe Traf people in conferences and other negotiations.
Got invited in the technical interview as well. Any idea what kind of q's they ask?
anyone moved past the first technical interview?
Brain Teasers and questions like, how many coke cans can fit in a tanker.
Hi, anymore examples of the questions during the cultural/technical interviews ?
For cultural its behavioral type questions. Time you failed, teamwork, resolving conflict, etc
what were the other 2 questions?
Has anyone gotten any response after completing the techincal interview yet?
Haven't heard anything yet :/
find out about next steps in oct. source: spoke w 2 employees
Thanks for the heads up bro

Any updates after the technical video interview?
Havnt heard anything yet personally
I know for sure that some people have been rejected in September. I have no insights regarding potential first rounds though.
Do you know what stage they got rejected after?
After the 2nd video interview
At what point do corruption investigators start investigating you? Is that after the cultural interview or do you actually have to start as a FTE?
No idea, do you have something to hide? Lol
They’re embroiled in the “Car Wash” corruption investigation in Brazil, as well as their competitors.

good one, KPMG!
Hi guys, just got the technical invitation... I planned to do it today or tomorrow, any tips on it please? For a FI control position. No idea what to expect, coming from PE industry. Many thanks!
Hi! I'm doing the technical interview also today, any advice? I've heard there are some brain teasers, but should I be prepared for any trading questions?
I think it depends on your domain. Which one?

Hello everyone, sorry for perhaps a stupid question, but where did you apply? I spent quite a while looking at their website and could not find any link for an application/email to send CV. Thanks a lot.
https://www.trafigura.com/careers/graduate-programmes/global-graduate-p… It was here, but it looks like it is unfortunately closed (I think???). Glencore is still open for a few more days fyi
any commodities internships still available? couldn't find any
P66 might still be open. Ik glencores ft closes in 2 days not sure if they have interns
Anyone hear back yet?
Just got rejected. Actually really surprised because I networked and was flat out told I would move on...oh well. Best of luck to all!
