Only one online interview with 3 panels. The first one asked about general, self management stuff. Second one asked about project management stuff. Third one ask technical stuff. Since there was limited time, the question was not too deep.
Was hired through a temp agency. There were face to face interviews with two hiring managers. The interview was to-the-point. It was based on IT related questions as well as on knowledge about commodity trading and investment banking.
