First telephone interview with HR, this was to identify suitability and meeting basic requirements. Next was a face to face meeting with a section head, this focused on experience and a little role play. Then I had a phone interview with the head of the business unit, this was pretty informal and focused on character. I then had 3 phone interviews with other analysts. The final interview was a panel interview, 4 people face to face 4 people on video conference, I then had 2 hours to write a research note, and was then questioned extensively on the research note

The recruiter contacted me on LinkedIn. I scheduled a 30-minute meeting with them. The recruitment gave me an extension description of the job position. I was told that I had excellent research experience, but lacked business acumen. The recruiter was very transparent and communicated to me that for the position I was applying for, this was a red flag. They were looking for someone with experience working with C-level executives.
