I applied through the ACCA Employer website for the Penang branch. The whole interview process happened on January 8, 2026, and there were three parts to it: first, filling out an application, second, finishing an assessment, and third, an interview with the Director. It was just me and one other person. The interview felt pretty relaxed and conversational. They asked about my background, why I left my last job, and about a six-month gap in my career. I also got to ask some questions. As of January 19, 2026, I haven't heard back yet.

Behavioral Technical

The interview process is quite good and organized. First, there will be a phone interview with HR or the recruiter, where they'll ask some behavioral questions and introduce the company and what they're looking for. Then, after that, they will set up an interview for you with the hiring managers. Mostly they look for a specific person with a specific set of skills and not someone they will train.
