The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Standard Chartered Bank (Beijing, Beijing) in Nov 2011
Interview
First applied online through their website. Had to complete a series of online assessments, the first one was the Numerical, then the Logical, and lastly, the Role assessment. The Numerical was mostly analyzing charts and graphs and all questions were multiple choice. Using a calculator can be helpful. The Logical assessment was a very common logical sequence assessment, it gives you some figures, and you have to choose the correct figure to complete the sequence. The Role assessment was the longest of the three and it took me more than an hour to complete. It was just a series of questions testing your personality mostly. After you pass all three, your results will be reviewed and SC will invite you to a phone interview...still waiting for the phone interview right now...
