Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Standard Chartered Bank.
Financial Analyst Intern
Three-step interview process: first, a complete assessment, then a phone call, and finally a three-hour super day which concludes with a presentation you design about a specific financial sector. For a big bank, it was pretty easy and direct.
- Why are you interested in working at this company?
Finance Analyst
The hiring process started with an online assessment. If I passed that, HR got in touch for a screening call. After clearing that, they called back to discuss the next steps which involved coming to the Standard Chartered office for two interviews: one with the hiring manager and another with the director.
- Behavior questions
- Technical questions
Corporate Finance
It was a quick interview process, I got the offer in about a month. It started with an online application, then a personality questionnaire, followed by logical and numerical assessments. After that, there was a video interview, then an HR phone interview which I got about 3 days after the video one. I did the phone interview and within 20 minutes, HR called to say I passed. The final stage was a Business Line Interview with an Executive Director in Corporate Finance. I thought that was it, but then I had another Business Line Interview about 3 days later, this time with an Executive Director from Corporate Banking. This might be because the department handles two different banking functions, hence the two final interviews. I got the internship offer 5 days after my last interview. I had to sign quickly, but overall it was a good experience.
