Interview
The hiring process involved online screening and then on-site interviews. The online screen was very general and not job specific. The on-site was mostly behavioral. The on-site involved meeting group of managers who ask behavioral questions and then also decide which team to put you in.
Focused on cores of finance and statistics. Detailed discussion on the projects worked upon till now. Questions pertaining to logic and reasoning was briefly touched upon. Telephonic interview was conducted in my case.
Online application, followed by an immersive online assessment and finally an assessment centre. Online assessment was very interactive and assessment centre was a very relaxed environment. Can't fault the process.
