I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Straits Financial (Singapore) in Nov 2024
Interview
i had a poor experience with this company. i was rushed into a morning interview and invited down, only for the boss to say i lacked experience—something they could’ve figured out just by reading my cv beforehand. it felt like they didn’t value my time at all. there was ample time and opportunity for them to communicate that.
when i arrived, the first four people i interacted with looked completely disengaged, like they were just going through the motions. the culture gave off a weird vibe—like a family-run setup where everyone just says “yes” to the boss. not exactly inspiring if you’re looking for a place where you can grow or have a voice.
after reading other reviews, i realized my experience wasn’t unique. most of the positive reviews seem to be from current employees, which makes you wonder. if you have other options, you might want to seriously reconsider spending your energy here.

my strategies and thoughts on multi country campaign
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Straits Financial (Ho Chi Minh City) in May 2024
Interview
7-day take-home test before discussing about the salary range. Absolutely ridiculous compared with other firms in the financial industry, the HR even called me back and asked me to do the test before the interview about the salary.
7 days of work in exchange for an opportunity to be rejected if the salary range does not match. Big brain move right there
Friendly interviewer who knows her stuff well and asks effective questions. Smooth process from entering the office to the end of the interview. Officer manager is very friendly and helpful as well.
