I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Standard Chartered Bank in Nov 2025
Interview
There was some online games and personality test, and after that a virtual interview. The online games were quite intuitive, where you need to accomplish various tasks such as button mashing, quick thinking and memory. The interview was more challenging and using STAR helped.
