It was a 2-hour conversation with 4 interviewers, and honestly, it wasn't intimidating at all. They focused their questions on my CV, previous work history, and my Master's Thesis. It felt more like a chat than a formal interview.
Confirmed questions1 question

Behavioral
I interviewed at the Singapore office and it was a panel interview. A lot of behavioural questions were asked, not really related to work experience, and some interviewers didn't seem very serious. One panelist made an inappropriate suggestion about childcare arrangements for long hours, which really put me off. Panel interviews are overrated, nerve-wracking, and not effective, with too many people asking questions. It felt like they were looking for the best speaker, not the best worker.

The interview process was professional, but the interviewer was really down to earth and easy to chat with. I felt like she really connected with me and was impressed with my skills and past work experience. Then, I met with the Supervisor of the Word Processing Department. I would be covering for them for about 2 hours or more each day. I got hired as a Night Typist/legal secretary.
