The process took 6 days. I interviewed at Standard Chartered Bank (Singapore) in Apr 2010
Interview
Headhunted by former colleague; went through 360deg interviews starting with potential staff, then peers, then management. Interviews consisted of personal history, work experience, then a case study (strategy role). Case studies increased in complexity with seniority of interviewer, as well as increased focus on personal motivations for applying. Strong emphasis on culture fit. Company culture tends to be risk averse and very conservative.
