Very long interview process. I went through an online test, video interview, a 5 hour assessment day, and a final round interview. I performed well until the final interview, according to the received feedback, but was rejected at the final stage. What was particularly annoying was that the final interview lasted around 30 minutes and managed to undo the hours of work I had put into the stages up until that point. The final interview consisted of a lot of industry-specific knowledge questions. This results in candidates getting pushed out of the process for not having sufficiently researched the pension industry, despite having proven their ability to communicate, work in a team, and learn new things beforehand. And realistically, a new employee could learn the content being assessed in the final interview in about an hour. I would suggest removing the final interview altogether or placing this stage before the assessment day.

The recruitment process has three stages. First is the initial application. Next is the video AI interview. The final stage is the in person Assessment Centre. This means the overall process is shorter compared to some other companies that have more interview stages.
