I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at World Bank Group
Interview
There was an excel based Technical round, where questions on standard deviation, Sharpe ratio, Treynor ratio, Modified Dietz method etc were asked. After clearing this round, there was a Panel Interview where mostly personality and aptitude testing questions was asked.
I applied online. I interviewed at World Bank Group (Washington, DC) in Feb 2021
Interview
I submitted my application via email, I received a response two weeks later for a virtual interview. I had a few days days to prepare. I received a follow-up interview request two weeks later and had only two days to prepare.
Although I sent follow-up emails after both interviews, the team never responded to any of the emails. I received a rejection email about 5 weeks after the last interview. Possibly the worst experience I had interviewing for the World Bank. The team was cold, they never smiled, the interview was boring, and they were stuck-up.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at World Bank Group (Wien) in Sep 2019
Interview
CV, Cover letter submission followed by a 2h financial modelling test, supposed to be followed by 2 rounds of 1h interviews. One of the Investment Officers could not attend the interview, so I ended up having 2 interviews for one round, both lasting 1h. This was followed by one more round of interviews.
