Interview Questions

Application

I applied online. The process took 5+ months. I interviewed at Monese (London, England (UK)) in September 2018.

Interview

Applied for this role in May 2018 and was contacted in September 2018 to see whether still interested. Attended interview in September 2018 with COO which was fairly relaxed. Was contacted a few weeks later to say I would need to have a 2nd interview with the CEO and VP. Attended. Very general non-specific questions. Towards the end of the interview I was told that a contract would be sent to me by email to review...which I was slightly taken aback by as this was technically “homework”. After waiting 3 days for the contract to be sent, I chased to see when I would expect to receive it. I was promised that I would be contacted that same day. Nothing. Received an email today to say no offers would be made as they need a “very senior” person.....with FinTech experience. OK so what was the point of wanting to send me a contract to review?! I actually found the email insulting! I have the relevant legal experience and have had many “senior” roles prior reporting directly into COOs and MDs. FinTech experience no, but such experience does not impact the ability to read, understand and draft legal contracts and documentation!

Lots of wasted time and effort, especially given the fact that no direct questions in relation to the role itself were asked. I was also informed that as a result of no offers being made they would be revisiting the JD itself however, I note the the same JD has been re-posted today.

I have rated this experience as negative due to the length of time in dealing with my application, alongside the sheer amount of time wasting.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Monese (Tallinn (Estonia)) in October 2018.

Interview

A poorly constructed online test, two rounds of phone interview (one in a foreign language) and a personal interview. Not many actual interview questions, rater a conversation on topics that came up based on my CV.
