I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Compass Lexecon (London, England)
Interview
They contacted me by e-mail. After that you arrange a date, when you will take a numerical and reasoning test (like GRE) quite challenging in my opinion.
Then, you will have a short interview with an economist of the company. There is no case to discuss, it is just a motivational interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
On average I would say it is a normal interview, I repeat to prepare very well on the test.
Competition for the vacancies is very high
The interview process was overall enjoyable and as stress-free as possible. The first round was a screening interview. Afterward, there was a second round behavioral interview with a few senior analysts. Third round consisted of an economic consulting case interview. And last round was a conversation with a team manager.
