There were two interviews, one with the head of the team and another with the VP and global lead. The questions were pretty straightforward, focusing more on competencies than technical skills. The process took about 3 months from the first interview to the final offer because of a restructure happening at the time.

Behavioral Technical
I had a chat with two of the current analysts from the hiring team. They asked me about my views on political issues, my researching skills and my Mandarin abilities. They were friendly in answering my queries when I asked about the job scope and whether they liked their jobs, etc. I felt that it was probably not for me though since it involved too much tedious manual entry.
