Rejection from SPB

I also received a rejection email from SPB's London office today

 

[stayawakewaitforme]

Did anybody apply for non London offices? (& has subsequently heard back)

I wouldn’t be too disheartened with SPB guys. Last year they did not offer all their training contracts and subsequently invited quite a few of the strong performing vac schemers back in for the summer scheme this year, as they felt as though they could not assess candidates properly virtually.

I assume this will impact the number of people they take on for their scheme this year.

Thank you! Maybe it's not meant to be

so ive just done the SPB VI, you have 2 questions and 2 practice rounds which are completely different to the real questions! not too bad overall. has anyone else done it? id suggest doing it sooner rather than later in case theres difficulties with the platform and the deadline is missed

 

[s.manc786]

i think i also saw somewhere in the VI it will be reviewed on a rolling basis

Surprised they only did 2 questions, how much time did they give you preparation and to give an answer? Thanks!

 

[AD2021]

Can anybody give an indication as to what to prep for? Is it competency/strength based or commercial?
