Application
I applied online. I interviewed at Royal London (Edinburgh, Scotland) in June 2017.
Interview
Interview was brief and focused around the role specific skills and organisational fit. Some questions were competency based, like 'Describe the time where you had to manage stakeholder expectations', other questions were more focused around technical skills and past experiences. Overall, the atmosphere was relaxed and friendly - made me feel at ease.

Basically just a chat..... They did not really ask about previous experience (i had none), and did not ask about any exam results or qualifications i had. Even though this is a financial company they did not even check if i have passed maths gcse.....i have not.

Application
The process took 4+ weeks. I interviewed at Royal London (Edinburgh, Scotland) in May 2009.
Interview
The whole interview process took over a months time . The first round was core technical and was taken by an external consutant who are Subject Matter Experts in this field. The interviewer had good questions and was based on basic concepts rather than knowledge of tools. Second round was the Behavioral Competency round and after attending so many interviews and getting stuck in this round I have failed to understand what the interviewers are looking for in these questions.
