Experience:

This experience for a Wholesale Banking Graduate role in Commercial Banking at NAB was shared on Wall Street Oasis.

The process began with online psychometric testing, followed by a phone interview.

The next stage involved being flown to a target city for a group assessment centre and an individual case study presentation. The interviews were conducted by individuals from various areas of the bank, so they were not necessarily overly technical, but depended on the interviewer. Group interviews heavily focused on assessing fit and the candidate's display of valuable qualities for the role.

The final stage was another panel interview. The behavioral questions were standard (e.g., "tell me about yourself," "why investment banking?," "why NAB?"). One specific technical question about experience with Bloomberg Terminals was asked, which the candidate did not have.
