Long but fair. Multiple stages and took a long time. Initial online questionnaire and video recording required. Need to register with their online job platform and submit documents there first.
Video interview with scenario questions. Some related to interaction with office colleagues and others on scenarios for AML compliance management. Additional questions on your CV and questions on strengths/weaknesses. Nothing out of the ordinary.
