I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Standard Bank Group (Cape Town) in June 2016
Interview
I came in and they asked quants questions, everyone was friendly and helpful if you get stuck. And they do not try to catch you out fast. they are more interested on the thought process as opposed to you getting the correct answer. so make sure that you think out loud.

Interview
apply, oracle assessments are rather long and tedious, video interview - not live, 2nd interview with interviewer - generally they in charge of new recruits and will assess fit, problem solving and company information
The interview was definitely not too difficult. The questions were fair and not invasive. The interviewers were patient and kind. They did not try to come across as too intimidating.

How can the conditions of our continent be improved?
Met with 3 members of management. Polite but quite formal. Asked some basic machine learning questions and more broad questions about personality/background. Felt like they spoke in generic business jargon.
