I applied online and then followed online:
Stage 1: Situational Judgement Test to understand how you may respond to work-related scenarios - this is untimed but takes approximately 25 to 30 minutes to complete.

Stage 3: Logical reasoning test to understand your ability to analyse abstract information and apply this when determining outcomes and patterns - this is a timed test and takes 15 minutes to complete.

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
for stage 2 and 3 NatWest provides information of a website where you can practice first. I found it helpful to understand how the format of the test is but the questions are quite different in the actual test.
1st round, reasoning and situational judgement tests. Pretty standard, similar to Barclays.
2nd round, virtual interview. Typical HireVue set-up, 120 seconds to prep and 180 to answer.
3rd round, assessment centre.
I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at NatWest Group (London, England) in Feb 2025
Interview
Very supportive and nice people. Clear guidance and feedback. Just the waiting time for the outcome is a bit long but that is acceptable and understandable. The overall experience is great.
1st stage - online game
2nd round - video interview with recorded answers
3rd stage - assessment Centre - group assignment, individual task and competency based interview
Offer
Process took a few months which is standard.
