Question 1
General system troubleshooting questions around storage and active directory
The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at BGL (Peterborough, England)
Interview
Really friendly and chatty interviewers.
Had a list of set questions ready to ask and compare with other candidates.
One interviewer was a stand -in, due to absences. There are over 80 HR professionals working in same open offices, they have a shared service focus and lots of 'cells'. The L&D function was highly spoken of and very supportive for personal development. The volume and niche area of the role didn't suit my generalist drive and varied background. The one thing that let the side down was constructive feedback, there was only a positive but nothing to take from the process for development.

Question 1
Questions was heavily biassed on volumes of HR queries in my current post and if I had completed many settlements. - They gave the impression they were looking for someone who has a high turnover of E.R queries per day / week experience.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at BGL in Apr 2011
Interview
The interview was similar to most investment banking firms interview. It started with a one on one interview with an HR personnel, they just wanted to know the basics, who referred you, how much experience you have, principally if you are the right candidate for the job. The second interview was a one on one with the head of investment banking group of the firm. He asked questions to confirm my understanding of the industry and so on. The final interview was with the GMD of the institution.
