Online tests and standard questions on behaviours etc. All industry standard and self explanatory. Interview quite difficult - comprised of one to one questions with senior management, again based around behaviours 'tell me about a time you worked well in a team'. Group exercise was a puzzle we had to solve in a time limit - quite challenging. Finally there was a case study taken on iPads and an interview afterwards where you were required to qualify your decision given the data.

I applied online and had several tests. The application process took approximately a month. After all tests, got an email about phone interview. Chose the available slot and a recrutier called at exact time. It lasted 40 minutes and questions were based on moral-ethics. Also there were questions like "How do you follow finance?
