I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Standard Chartered Bank (Singapore) in Jun 2008
Interview
- Long waiting of confirmation upon hiring process. Usually the hiring managers will probably confirm who to recruit near the due date set by HR
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What do you understand about our transaction banking?
-As you understand from the bank's website, there are minimal information revealed. Additionally, banking is a very wide industry and banks usually have their own integrated platforms that makes it hard to answer the question.
I have noticed that some banks preferred to get assistance from recruitment agencies for sourcing of employees, the recruitment agencies should provide more details upon the first interview, to allow employees understand better of the particular position. This should make known to recruitment agencies
The interview process was normal, with standard questions about the role, personality, relevant skillsets etc., not too easy, but was just walk through your CV types of questions. it took around 1 hr
I have worked at Standard Chartered Bank for a few years. In general, this is a good company. The team members are friendly; yet there are still pros and cons.
I interviewed at Standard Chartered Bank (Singapore)
Interview
Only 2 rounds, not much of a technical interview, more like a cultural fit chat. Hiring manager was clear with what she needed from this role, no ambiguity. However, every team and every hiring manager is different. This should be taken as a pinch of salt.
