I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at NatWest Group (Edinburgh, Scotland) in Oct 2025
Interview
7 oral questions + 2 coding questions
Time-consuming and they seems attaching importance to using frameworks like STAR something. I did well in coding questions but I was not that good in oral questions. Guess that was why they turned me down.

Question 1
Why Natwest? Describe a piece of news that recently blows your mind? Why you think security is especially important in banking industry?
It was 7 questions long and it was fairly simple, i began it kind of nervous but it isn’t nothing to worry about you just need to prepare basic style questions but yeah this is not for internship level tho
