I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Standard Chartered Bank in Feb 2011
Interview
Got a call from HR for asking if I'm interested it or not, I said yes then went through the interview process. Since I'm in the states and the interviewers are in Singapore, it's just phone interview. They need someone to work on their system, and their business focusing on fixed income on emerging market and FX options. They mainly asked some finance questions, like basic knowledge on options, how to derive black-scholes formula, and some C++ and SQL questions. It's basically not a tough one.
around 30min, with combination of technical and behavioral questions, talked about the firm's strategic goals and test language fluency in Mandarin cuz the role covers client in China.
The technical questions is about corporate banking, things related to business sense and accounting.
I interviewed at Standard Chartered Bank (New York, NY)
Interview
The process went well, seemed like they were interested in me as a person. Had a great experience talking to everyone, 4 managers and myself, 2 hours. The interview process was welcoming and kind.
the interview process was easy and good, interviewers are nice and friendly, learnt a lot about the role, 2 rounds in total, no offer at the end. but it was overall a valuable experience
