After application, I received an invitation to an interview. It consisted of about 5 minutes of personal questions and around 50 minutes of technical questions about a wide range of topics. (Finance, Statistics, Econometrics) The purpose does not seem to be to get to know the applicant and present the position to him, but to examinate the technical knowledge. No exchange between interviewer and applicant, more of an interrogation than an interview.
