Been 4 weeks since applying to MS and haven't heard anything. Anyone else who applied around that time still waiting to hear?

Yeah, it's really standard. It's PSL (Kenexa) and probably the easiest test. Someone of your impressive standing and stature should finish with 20 mins to spare. Easily.

They said you passed in the email?

I got an email saying I would be bench-marked against other candidates and they would get back to me. Waiting list rejection?

Unless he got a different email, it just says that you've met the requirements for the tests and they will now short-list candidates from the list of people who met that requirement.

Ah well this is what I got:

We have received your results, which we will now consider before deciding whether we will be inviting you to the next stage.

Because we will be benchmarking your performance against other candidates who have applied for your selected programme, you may not hear immediately whether you have been successful in reaching the next stage. Please be assured, however, that we will update you when we have come to a decision.

It's not the end of the world, only RBS, but if I don't get any SW's in the end it would of been better than nothing.

Right, I got:

After reviewing your responses at the online testing stage, we are pleased to inform you that your performance has met our requirements. We are now short listing candidates for progression to the next stage, which will be a face-to-face assessment.

Because we receive many high quality applications, and spaces at the next round are limited, please be aware that we are unable to confirm at this stage whether we will be inviting you to the next stage.

Thanks, you too.

I wouldn't take yours negatively or worse than mine. Could be a different division?

To be perfectly honest, my test results were pretty poor.

Anybody know how the DB AC looks like ? Or do they just interview ?

Same question for CS. Last year it was just a phone interview, but they seem to have changed it for this year.

I know that for MS it is numerical (online), 30 min phone interview (mostly competency, some 'commercial awareness' technicals) and then a face-to-face interview (approx. 30 mins).

I dunno how many they do/which they do but I would have picked Sales and Trading if there was the option to do that.

As it turns out I applied to the wrong one and it's likely the same with the others who were rejected after the personality test too.

I applied to their Summer Internship programme for retail banking and just found the form for their Spring Insight application.

EDIT: Neg...seriously?

lol i didn't neg you, just gave you + rep

Just completed an interview with Credit Suisse. It went really good I think, not any too hard questions, the interviewers seemed very friendly aswell.
