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.
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.

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.
