I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Investec (London, England)
Interview
Be prepared to wait, whole process took 4 months for them to put it on hold, I know 2 other colleagues who had the same thing with them, one got a job the other didn't. From first meeting, it took 6 weeks to get back in, then another 3 months to meet the UK head, then they just said we've hired a lot this year it's on hold. Complete waste of my time. Since, I have spoken to recruiters and they are known for this in London apparently. I met in total 3 guys all nice, but never serious about taking it it forward, to me they don't know what they want or what good looks like.
I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Investec (Cape Town) in Jan 2019
Interview
Great process! I went through 4 interviews in total. First with HR and then with different group interviews with a range of private bankers and my potential manager. The communications were clear and overall I throughly enjoyed the process and conscientiousness of the team.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at Investec (London, England) in Feb 2016
Interview
Took 4 weeks from submitting CV to being called in for 1st interview which was then arranged very quickly. Was called back within 48 hours for a panel interview but then left waiting close to 3 weeks because the 'panel hadn't given feedback'. Was then called back within 48 hours again - a week later was told I didn't get the job nor feedback after going in at less than 48 hours notice for all 3 interviews, meeting 6 interviewers and over 8 weeks of waiting on them.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
When have you had a bad experience with a colleague and how did you handle it?
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Investec (Durban)
Interview
The first 'exploratory' interview I attended was very general and more about me than the company. The interviewer wanted to know if I was the right fit for the company and asked about my background and education as well as my general interests. I was told my personality suited the company but I did not have enough experience for the position. They are great with feedback.
