Straightforward and chill, just be prepared and know why you want to work there. Super nice interviewers and overall a good process. About 4 rounds, and the superday was 3 interviews.
I applied online. I interviewed at Barings (London, England) in Oct 2024
Interview
First round telephone interview, shortlisted for AC - back to back interviews with MDs and assessed networking with employees. Well organised and were told interviewers beforehand. You give your desk preferences before and they try to allocate you for those desks - ultimately it’s up to the MD if they don’t want you on their desk
