I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Macquarie Group (Sydney) in Oct 2021
Interview
Overall the interview process was really good. Overall it took me 3 weeks. The recruiter was arranging every round pretty well. The first round was a mix of behavioral and technical questions. It was mostly based on my experience. The second round was a psychometric test including verbal and mathematical questions as well. You have to be really fast for this second round. The last round again was a technical one. It was mainly around my experience and my experience with java and cloud technology. All of the interviewers were really nice and did not put any pressure on me.
