Here are the most commonly searched roles for interview reports -
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at DNV (Singapore) in Jan 2020
Interview
Receive an email from HR asking to arrange a skype (video) appointment.
First interview involved the lead of the area you will be working in and head of section. First interview wasn't technical, they told me about the role and what it involved then let me ask questions clarifying the responsibilities of the role.
HR will ring you to tell you if you have progressed to the next round and ask for salary expectations.
Second interview involved 3 people - Country manager, another senior consultant and HR manager for APAC. This interview was entirely technical - i was interviewing for a role in energy services section - 95% of the questions asked were about electrical equipment and how to maintain them. They want very detailed answers. HR asked one question at the end.
I applied for a role in the Singapore office but was overseas at the time of the interview so all interviews were conducted by skype video chat.
For the salary it's a 13month year and they don't offer CPF to foreigners.

- Contacted by HR after 2 weeks of online application, they set up a meeting a week after. Interviewed about basic HR stuffs, and they insist to know my expected salary, otherwise cant go forward

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Basic HR stuffs, local context about technical consulting in my knowledge domain, and motivations.
A video interview that can be recorded within 5 days after receiving an invitation email. Really effective to streamline the screening process but unfortunately, it is so impersonal that you don't get to ask questions nor to feel valued. No response on follow-up emails inquiring about next steps after several weeks.
