Very relaxed and open to questions. Asked about relevant experience but also about personal opinions and experiences outside of work. Felt like they had a genuine interest in me as a person.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is your opinion on the way covid should be handled in an organisation?
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Investec (London, England) in May 2025
Interview
- 1st call with HR Partner.
- 2nd call with Hiring Manager less than a week later.
- Feedback provided within 24 hours. Unfortunately not successful, however there was valid feedback about why I missed the mark for the role.
- Overall, great candidate experience. Very professional from Investec. One of the few times in a year long search for a new role where the entire process has been so well managed and moved through the stages rapidly.

Question 1
Questions were conversational around previous roles, specific experiences related to the role in question and overall product sense.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Investec (London, England) in Oct 2019
Interview
The overall recruitment process took around 2 months.
It consisted of the following steps:
1. Screening interview with a recruiter.
2. Interview with a hiring manager.
3. Interview with a team (4 people).
4. Assignment - in my case it was a simulation of a product refinement session. You prepare the assignment offline and afterwards conduct a workshop with the Investec team.
5. Final interview with a hiring manager and HR manager.
