I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Envestnet (London, England) in Dec 2019
Interview
It all started with the HR contacting me after they found my profile in LinkedIn. First round was telephonic interview with a panel of 2 senior resources. The telephonic interview took almost 1 hour. After 3 days the HR contacted me for asking whether I'll be available for a face to face interview. Since I had to travel by flight for the interview the company even offered me the travel expenses like flight ticket cost. I reached their office on time for the interview and met the HR. Initially I was asked to prepare a presentation for finding out the ideal software solution (For example, stock management software) by comparing other competitors in the market. I was given more than an hour to do this. Second round was a face to face interview with the Project manager and an a senior resource of the team. The questions were mainly asked about my previous experience on projects that I have worked on, Methodologies used, Role played by me on each project and the different Tools used for implementing the same. This round almost took 1 hour of discussion. Next round was with the Department head. This was a short round where questions were asked to test the understanding of the Finance domain. Like trading, stocks and Banking functions. The final round was with the HR head who discussed about my previous employers work culture and how will i handle some situation if it arises in the work environment. The overall HR experience was excellent. They even provide candidates with complimentary meals as part of their policy which was a new experience for me.

One real scenario they asked was about handling conflicting stakeholder requirements in a live project. I explained how I used BA fundamentals like requirement prioritization, stakeholder analysis, and facilitation techniques to align goals and deliver a clear, actionable solution.
There were three rounds. First one was Technical round then the presentation round and then the HR round. The duration of the whole process was almost three weeks. HR was supportive through out the process.

Question 1
Asked mainly about the market and also valuated my knowledge in business analysis and concepts
Overconfident almost arrogant recruiter bragging that Envestnet is the greatest place on earth. It was very off putting but I pushed on to give the benefit of doubt.
I was wrong, it was a foreshadow of the experience to come
Initial phone screen was cordial and easy going. Seemed like I was wrong to doubt what this could be.
In person interview as basically an ambush; interview by panel.
No warning, no warm up, just six people in a room staring at you.
While they spoke one at a time, it doesn't matter since six people are waiting for your response. "here's a marker there's the white board now.... go"
The beginning of the interview was pretty basic until they started asking unformatted questions.
Their questions only made me ask more questions to explain what their goals are. All answers were open ended making it even more frustrating. Nothing would narrow what they wanted me to do.
