I applied online. I interviewed at ION Group (Londra, Inghilterra) in Apr 2021
Interview
One of the worst interview processes I have ever seen. First there was a numerical test, which was relatively easy. Then the first round was also quite easy with few wider knowledge/commercial awareness questions - most if not all were basic competency questions. The SuperDay, which was well organised, with 3 interviews, one case presentation and a group exercise was well-organized and people were kind, no questions were that difficult.
At the end of the SuperDay, we were told they made the decision that evening, and then put it to CEO approval which could take longer because of Easter. At least a month later, I received a call from the recruitment team, telling me they were very impressed with my application and had put me forward for CEO approval, which should come in the following few weeks. It took them 2 months after this to respond to my email and contact me again, to tell me I had been unsuccessful, with no mention of their previous 'informal call'. Just the worst process, it's difficult to be so bad.

Interview
I applied on LinkedIn and interviewed with ION Group (Vancouver, BC) in February 2022. The interview process was thorough, beginning with two 30-minute behavioural interviews with Analysts. "SuperDay" followed which consisted of three more behavioural interviews with upper management plus a case study where we had an hour to prepare and 20 minutes to present, followed by a Q&A.
The following week I received a verbal offer via email from HR and was told that a formal offer would be arriving "in the coming days" pending approval from the CEO. Two and a half months have gone by and I haven't received it yet. HR has done a poor job in responding, as they have followed up a few times apologizing for the delay. Clearly, there are underlying issues with the company that has restricted them from sending the offer letters. This entire process has created a considerable amount of stress and anxiety in my life. If you value your sanity, do not apply here.
