I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Ubisoft (Singapore) in Mar 2017
Interview
Applied for the job using SmartRecruiters through their website. Took a week until I was informed it was being reviewed.
I was contacted by a staff of the recruitment team via email two days following that to arrange an visit to their office for a Technical Test within two weeks (including the week I received the email).
On the day of the Technical Test, I was escorted by the same staff of the recruitment team to a small room to do the test alone. The test lasted 1.5 hours, and comprised of topics such as programming languages, math, algorithm, logic, and debugging.
Four days afterwards I was informed that they will not be progressing any further with the interviewing process.
