I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Standard Bank Group (Lagos) in May 2019
Interview
3 interviews in the process
1- Panel Interview with mid-level managers
Hardest interview in the process
You get a lot of questions about the firm’s values and how you alight
The basic, tell me about yourself?
Why do you want to work here?
Where are you most interested in working?
You have to sell yourself well cause this is the major cutting off point,
2- One-on-One with C-Level
Research is key!
Research everything about your interviewer (LinkedIn, article, Twitter, websites)
Have a lot of questions to ask about the business!
3- One-on-One with HR
This is the easiest interview.
No one fails!
It’s basically a joke tbh

It was friendly, and given 5 minutes maximum to answer each question, there were about five questions, and mostly follow-ups. I was nervous, but I was given a glass of water to manage.
