Analyst Intern
Interview process
I applied through a recruiter and they forwarded my details to interroute, soon I had an interview call.
As a standard, the first communication was a phone interview. Within one week I received a call to attend a face to face interview. I had the interview at the Liverpool Street office with one of the senior managers. He was an easy going chap and created an informal atmosphere during the interview as I was very nervous. There were technical skills along with analyst type role questions. At this point I wasn't sure what happened as I applied for a technical role and wasn't really prepared for Business analyst type of questions. Then I raised this question and he said he will interview me on both of these skills and whichever I fit best in, he will put me in that role, provided I was good enough to be selected. I think they had a business analyst role available, may be the one I applied for was gone but they didn't reveal the secret.
