1) Language & Math test online. Practice tests given on the same site were very useful. Couldn't finish a few math questions; still made it to next round. 2) Impromptu 30-min phone interview; generic competency questions. Passed. 3) Assessment Centre. Total of 3 x interviews + 1 x case study.
a. Motivational interview b. You're given material for an Operations case study. Whoever you read/discuss these materials with in that room *won't* be your actual group later. Each member is given special additional information - won't be told what it is; you'll have to compare notes with the eventual group. Total reading time for materials is 1 x ~30min + 1 x 10min session. c. Interview with Operations VP (or equivalent). Knowledge about Finance industry; knowledge about Operations; personality-related questions to assess fit. d. Group brainstorming on how to solve the case study, whilst monitored by manager(s). Expected to come up with prioritisation of solution + answer on paper & submitted as a group. e. Final interview with one of the managers who sat in earlier; supposedly as a presentation of the group's proposed solution - & whether you'd change anything. Assessing teamwork & performance, & what you think about it.
