Interview
The interview is quite simple and strict forward. It took around 3 to 4 weeks. I first applied online and receive the online assessment (including situational, verbal and numerical). After successful finishing the online test, I received the HR phone interview for screening, which mainly asking question about yourself and why you choose the bank etc. After that, I receive another phone interview with 2 line managers. The managers are very nice and the whole interview lasted for around 20 minutes. They mainly asked behavioural questions. After a week, I received an offer from the HR through a phone call.
