DBS Bank Analyst Interview Questions
& Process

First, they looked at my resume and had a quick video call to see if I was qualified and interested. Then, I had an interview with the hiring manager or recruiter to talk about my background, skills, and why I want the job. After that, there was a skills test to check my abilities. Later, I met with potential coworkers and senior people to see if I'd fit in. Finally, they made a decision, checked my references, and I got the offer.

I made it to the final round for a position in Private Banking. The interview was in-person with two senior team members. Scheduling was a mess and the interview itself was bad, really overboard and needs an internal review. The interview had discriminatory questions like being asked if I 'got along with other women' and then being questioned when I said yes. A senior ED also said they 'only prefer working with men.' This shows gender bias and doesn't align with equal-opportunity standards, especially for DBS. The tone was aggressive and dismissive. A senior leader said a junior got a full-time role because they 'made the way' and 'opened the doors,' not because of merit, which undermines a merit-based culture. It made me question reporting to such outdated leadership. They also condescendingly told me to send an email to reaffirm my enthusiasm at the end.

You will start with a 2-minute self-introduction, either in Chinese or English. After that, you'll be asked about your most successful or frustrating experience and to compare your strengths and weaknesses against competitors.
