I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at World Bank Group (Ciudad de Mexico) in Aug 2024
Interview
Via HireVue a financial test, a video interview with typical personality questions and game like questions.
A 1hr30min case study that had to be done at a specific time.
Process took forever, the financial test they sent out the first time was done wrong (had questions that made no sense), so they sent a correction a week later. There was like a month between each step and getting in touch with recruiters was very difficult.

1st round financial modeling test at Lagos office in Ikoyi. We were about 20, most of us who stayed in touch never heard back. I believe the recruitment was for West Africa so only had few overall slots for nigeria.
