Interview
Application online; got a reply almost 2 months later, in which I was asked to complete a Watson-Glaser test. A week after the test I was invited to an interview (video conference) at an office of my choice. Just after the interview, I also had to take a written test in which I had to answer to a question of my choice related to general economics/IO/econometrics using plain language.

Behavioral/fit questions, e.g. in which situations did you demonstrate your leadership? Describe one time you managed to convinced a colleague to pursue a certain direction in carrying out the work.
A couple of more technical questions related to assessment of merger and natural monopoly.
