I applied through university. I interviewed at Mercer (Melbourne) in Nov 2021
Interview
Two interviews as well as a test delivered in Excel. The test is pretty straightforward but it’s worth to review some formulas and shortcuts. Interviewers are friendly and they do really want to know you more as a person.
