I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Orbit Partners (London, England) in Jun 2026
Interview
Interview was straight forward and included a couple of different rounds. Nothing too special. Gives a decent view on what the role entails. I haven’t heard a response yet but hoping to get an offer in the coming weeks.
Careful interview procedures with multiple stages including an assessment centre. The process is transparent and any questions are answered quickly and clearly. The assessment centre was challenging and a little long but ultimately a suitable insight into the job

Terribly Disappointing and Unprofessional Experience
My experience with Orbit Partners was extremely disappointing and unprofessional from start to finish.
My interview was cut short just five minutes in (i.e. the interviewer never showed up and then emailed me saying she was too busy at that time despite me choosing the slot 3 weeks in advance) and was then rescheduled by them to the following week. However, after agreeing to postpone politely, I received no further communication. I sent three follow-up emails seeking clarification and confirmation, particularly given that the Assessment Centre was scheduled shortly afterwards, yet I never received a response.
Being left completely without communication after an interview has been rearranged is highly unprofessional and shows a clear lack of respect for candidates’ time and effort. Candidates invest significant preparation into these processes, and basic courtesy, even a short update...should be the minimum standard.
The complete absence of follow-up or explanation reflects poorly on the organisation’s communication and candidate management.
I even emailed one final time to ask at least if I have been officially ruled out as a candidate (just for peace of mind and out of respect, asking for any tips or reasoning as to why, but to no avail).
I would not expect this level of disorganisation from a firm operating in the advisory space.
Terrible experience from start to finish, unprofessional company and by the sounds of other reviews they are not an aspiring firm to work for, they seem toxic and unprofessional .
