The interview was on time and the interviewers were professional. They asked structured questions, starting with experience, then technical skills, and finally personality and character. They ended by giving me time to ask questions about the bank.

Behavioral Technical Presentation

I networked at an event and got a phone screening. After that, I had an in-person interview at CIMB where they asked about my personality and background. Then, I had to take a General Intelligence Assessment. After a few weeks, I had my 3rd round, which was a business presentation on a topic I was given 3 days before. The 4th round was an in-person interview with the head of HR, and I got an offer on the spot.
