I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Ares Management (London, England) in Nov 2023
Interview
Very long, 15 min telephone interview, 45 min video interview then a 5 hour online assessment centre. Case study was very challenging, interviews were easier, people seemed very friendly. However, I was told I had completed the process extremely successfully and had scored the highest on the case study and was a perfect cultural fit, they just could not give me the role due to a lack of experience. the job was advertised as an Internship wit "no experience required". This seemed very suspicious to me as if there was bias and the process was a waste of time. Additionally in my technical interview the interviewer forgot the questions she needed to ask me...
