I applied online. I interviewed at The Stepstone Group (London, England) in Aug 2017
Interview
The process was quick and straight forward. The recruiter was very open and direct.
I was first approached by their internal talent acquisition lead, then I had a Skype interview with the Product Director and finally I had to prepare a presentation for my final interview (the Director plus the Head of UX and Product).
Everyone was very approachable and made me feel at ease. I was left with a very good impression of the company.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at The Stepstone Group in Jan 2021
Interview
Apart from initial 15min call with recruiter it was a 3 step process. First I had a call with BA Lead - mostly about my experience, my understanding of the role of BA in Agile environment. After that I had a 1h call with Senior BA and BA Lead for which I had to prepare an assignment - a user story to critique and fix and a question about non functional requirements. During this call I also got few scenarios and questions what would I do. Last call was with local Dev managers and the recruiter. With dev managers it was mostly to figure out how I work with developers, while the part with recruiter was rather typical HR interview.
