Financial Conduct Authority Senior Associate interview questions

Pretty sure they use bad AI to screen applications so good luck on trying to get past that to begin with and not get auto-rejected with no explanation despite meeting all the criteria. Comes across as very soulless and poorly run. Interviewed for two roles last year, one was a positive experience with a team who seemed friendly and engaged, the other one was terrible and the people in this International team came across as very self-absorbed and disinterested in the process and me as a candidate. Despite what the FCA say about hiring in all their locations, there is a very strong London bias so you are at a strong disadvantage if you apply for the national offices (maybe they need more people using their terrible Stratford office?)

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.
