Interview 1: Asked questions about my CV, eg tell me more about X project or about what responsibilities did you have when you worked as X. This interview was more of a general chat where they talked about the job and asked what I wanted to get out of it with some behavioural questions thrown in. Interview 2: A lot less chatty and more formal, but all standard behvaiour questions, describe a time you faced conflict in a group project, describe a time you faced a set back and how you approached it etc Other than why I preffered certain languages over others, there were no technical questions, but they do ask questions that allow you to show evidence of technical abilities. Both interviews were very relaxed and the interviewers were very personable and clearly read my CV instead of just having preset questions. Also neither interviews were with HR so everyone actually understood my more technical responses making them more of conversations that question and answer interviews.
Why this role?
Tell me more about your internship experience [at another bank]. Why are you interested in NatWest? [I was talking about machine learning and finance] So you think that Warren Buffet's strategy/value investing has been useless and we should just move to technical analysis?

Asked for example of time when overcame a difficult situation
difference between c and c++?
Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
The assessment centre follows a similar process to management consulting interviews. The process can seem daunting at first but with practice you will get better at spotting what each question is trying to get at - there are often hidden elements to the question which need fleshing out. At the final round I was asked questions around my motivation for the role - i.e. why Zopa, why the role. I was also asked to speak about a time I'd taken ownership for something in the workplace.
