I applied in-person. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at OSTC (Mumba, Nord-Kivu) in Feb 2020
Interview
Initially the process worked very smoothly, after the Cv review, there was a psychometric test and then an aptitude one. After that there was a video interview, after which we were called in for an assessment day.
The interview process was said to last 5 hours but it took way longer. The first assessment was a trading activity and the interview with the manager was very good.
But the interview with director was very very harsh, he was asking random questions about market and expected to know all of them. Very stringent. The questions asked made no sense to the work conducted. I was asked to recite Alphabets and then recite them in reverse order as well
After that We were to given the result in the next 5 days, but it did not come and even after constant follow ups, they did not respond or declare a given final result
This just keeps the job seeker hanging in the middle of nowhere.
Very well thought interview process which begins with first online application. After that we have the diversity interview. Then comes the online assessments. which is followed by the virtual interview and so on. as you clear more rounds you proceed ahead
I applied online. I interviewed at OSTC (Jaipur, Maharashtra) in Mar 2021
Interview
The interview process was very extensive and holistic. There was an online assessment which was followed by an interview that had several parts to it including a psychometric test, a virtual intercview
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at OSTC (Mumbai) in Feb 2020
Interview
There were 5 rounds to the entire process. First was the Psychometric Test which was a normal aptitude based test, knowing the personality of the candidate. Then, they invite you for a Math and Aptitude test which again consists of various exercises to ascertain the speed, accuracy and art of remembering data. Math test had simple, easy number crunching questions with 5 minute per test, there were 5 such tests making it a 25 minute test. Please do read the instructions properly before starting the test. Next, was a video interview, which will ask 3 basic questions and you have to record the video for 90-120 seconds per question. In my case the questions were, 1. Why do you want to be a trader? 2. What have you done till now to make yourself a good trader? 3. Why OSTC?. Next, they invited for the assessment interview where they asked us to introduce ourselves through some flash cards and the qualities written in them. They introduced us to the company and the role and there was a 15-20 mins Q&A Session followed by a session of Simulation Games.
Finally, they invite you for a Personal Interview with the Director and one of his juniors.
I was asked about the Equity Markets as well, as I happened to say that they interest me. So, prepare before saying something you like and most probably the interviewer will grill you on that
The job asks a lot from the candidate, so one question that can be asked is If you fail or don't perform, how would you motivate yourself and convince me that you won't just leave the job and go away
Few other questions, depending on what a candidate says. So prepare accordingly and make a path for your interview by saying only those things that you are absolutely confident about
