You begin the day with a basic intro to the company and you get split up to either to do the numeracy and literacy test first or your behavioural interview. Vice versa for the next hour.

Following a short afternoon tea, you go off into doing either your group work/ partner interview for the next hour. Group work consists of working within a group of 5 people and discussing a basic issue with a panel watching over you. Vice versa for the next hour. If you did your partner interview, your group work would be next

Interviewed Aug 2010 in Sydney (Australia) (took 2 weeks)

I got a phone interview first for their risk management consulting jobs - it was just about my background and skills. A face-to-face interview with scheduled about 1-2 wks after the phone interview. It was a panel interview - a company director and a line manager. I talked about my broad knowledge in risk management consulting and community service work. However, the role was targetting specifically on AML, which I had some exposure but not a great deal. It went about the 45mins. I got rejected after few hours of the interview. Some feedback was provided a few days later - they needed someone with very strong AML background. That's about it.
