Question 1
If you could choose two companies to invest in—one private and one public—which would you choose, and why?
It was a standard procedure. The process involved psychometric tests, and hire vue, then assestment centre. Didn't pass the hire vue stage. There's nothing else I can add about the interview process.

Tell me about yourself, tell me about a time you had to handle stress, what is your biggest achievement?
First was a hirevue. That is typical behaviors. After that, you will move onto a 20 or 30 minute phone screen. A couple technicals and just running through your resume. Lastly, you will have the superday.
