This is what's on their early careers page: This will be a two-hour online session.

In the first hour, you'll dive into a real-business scenario to showcase your analytical and written communication skills. No need to prepare—everything you need will be provided during the session.

After a comfort break, you'll spend up to 30 minutes with our associates. They'll share their experiences and answer your questions. This part is informal, so relax and feel free to ask plenty of questions.
You’ll receive feedback within five working days.

Tips

Manage your time carefully. You’re more likely to score higher by addressing all tasks rather than focusing too much on just one.
Set aside a few minutes at the end to review your responses and make any final ad-justments before submitting.

But they did say in one of their online events thats theyre not sure whether its going to be written or verbal answer (usually this kinda exercise is writing an email to a client) and theyre still figuring it out

Sorry I was asking why was your application transferred to another program? Is this something you asked for?

Oh, sorry! I asked, I saw the Dec 2025 was closed and people had been diverted from Sept 2025 to the Dec 2025 application so I thought it might be better to just transfer 🫶

Yes you have to be on a teams call during the written exercise. You dont have to share screen though as other applicants are completing it at the same time as you.
