The process took nearly two months to complete all stages. To this day, I have received no response despite sending two follow-up emails to the recruiter. If the FCA is your top choice, be warned. Even if you make it to the final stages, you may be ghosted. This has apparently been happening for years with no accountability. Their values look great on paper, but the experience tells a different story.

An interview was in two stages: two case studies with 7 questions in total plus another 4 questions on general comprehension of the area of regulation (credit rating agencies). I was given an hour and a half to complete at home PC. Expected a case study as per the email from HR and overlooked that the task was much bigger. By the time I realised that I had little time to finish. As a result the response was weak, however got to the second stage interview, where I had to make a presentation on one of the case studies and answer some competence based questions. I thought that the interview went well, but did not get the job.
