What would you do if you were to meet up with a client to sell a given product and unfortunately the manager doesn't know show up yet you have no information about the product.What would you do?
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Standard Chartered Bank (Londres, Angleterre) in Nov 2016
Interview
Had to pass 1 Situational test and 2 online tests.
Afterwards, I was told to do a video interview within 5 days.
There was 11 questions in the video interview and each question basically is very similar to the common competency tests available online.
I have got a call about a week later that I got rejected due to a lack in internships in banking. But, I was offered an internship instead which I rejected.

Interview
Online application- Strengths assessment - logical reasoning - numerical reasoning - video interview - HR interview
Tests are straightforward. Instant feedback on your progress until video interview stage. An example of video interview question: "It is the first day at work. Who would you seek for advice and how"
For the HR interview, I guess it was a very realistic one. I expected motivational, behavioral, CV based questions but the first thing they said was "other candidates have numerous banking experience but you only have 1". Typical questions such as "tell me a time" ones or "why us/division" was never asked.
They Don't give you much room to explain your other experiences or anything else rather than things that were directly related to banking or finance.
I'm sure it depends on the interviewer/position/country but from my experience, I don't think you can have a decent conversational interview unless you have a finance related major with 2 or more previous internship at a bank.
