I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at EF (Education First) (Stockholm, Stockholm) in Jan 2020
Interview
In Stockholm I had three 40 minutes interviews with 3 different persons. two out of the three were behavioural whilst the third and last interview was a case interview. The first behavioural was more "friendly" were you had a really good talk with the interviewing person. The second one was a bit tricky because the interviewer tried to get you unsettled.
The interview process was quick and simple, the communication from EF came directly from a member of staff and not a generalized email, this made the company feel very individual first and not as if you were one in hundreds of applicants. It started with a live assessment, then a first interview for character, then a technical interview, and would end with an in person all together "interview" day.

Interview
Five "rounds" of interviews. The first is resume screening, why you want to work there, etc. it's online answered questions. If you get through that they do a financial literacy test that you take on zoom. After that are three more rounds: An HR screening/personality assessment, another interview with upper management, and then finally if you make it to the last round you go in person and stay for five hours. We had to do a three minute "passion pitch" and two longer interviews including a case study, and also a Q&A with the current people in the program. All of that, being selected out of 1200 applicants for the final in person interview (about 12 applicants in total made it this far) just for an auto rejection email.
