First step: basic phone interview
Second step: do the 5 hour assessment process (1 apt test, 1 math test, 1 venn diagrams) and 2 interviews with the trainer and account manager
Third step: if you barely passed, they give you a call telling you to schedule a third interview on skype
Fourth: Skype interview with another hiring manager
Last: They won't respect you enough to reply back if you didn't get the job :)

The process took 1 day. I interviewed at FDM Group (Leeds, England) in Mar 2017
Interview
We had an aptitude test, a maths assessment and a set notation theory. We then had 3 short interviews with different interviewers (these were 1:1) where the questions were strength based as opposed to competency based questions. Each interview asked a warm up question and then a further 5/6 questions. It was fairly formal once you started the proper questions since the interviewers weren't allowed to prompt or help. They were able to repeat the question though and you had time to think before answering.
