Interview
Was contacted through campus, first had to go through a preliminary quantitative written exam prior to an interview, got through first round interview, and was told that they were looking to hire other people.
The quantitative exam was fairly easy, and was a lot of weighted averages and the like. It did involve two written portions which took some time though.
The Interview was almost entirely behavioural.
