I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Backbase in Sept 2019
Interview
It was very fast and efficient. It took about 5 weeks with the following steps:
1. hr interview (very basic, cv overview)
2. interview with the product owner and development manager (deep dive in SDLC related questions)
3. case presentation (most difficult part, they ask really good and challenging questions)
4. interview with the product manager (challenging part with very deep dive into product management skills. also a few questions about the case presentation)
5. DNA interview with the scrum master and developer (understand the candidate is culturally fit or not)
I have learned so much from the interview process. The process was really instructive besides being very challenging. The hr person was really helpful. He asked my feedbacks and gave really useful feedback after each interview.

I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Backbase (Singapore) in Oct 2023
Interview
The process is professional. Interviewers are nice and kind. they make me comfortable while conducting the interview. The process includes of 4 rounds: firstly, HR manager may spend around 30 mins with you to check your simple ability (like English communication, the way you communicate well or not). HR manager also shared about company mission and vision, position requirements. If you have any question, you can ask HR managers in scope of work and company. Secondly, you get an interview with manager specialized in the role you apply to. For example, your role is Business Analyst, you can have interview with Principal Business Analyst and so on. Third round is a presentation test where you are given a case study then you need to prepare your presentation to share about it. Lately, wait for a magic happen if HR contact you and inform a good news.

Question 1
Normally they asked about my working experiences and give me a test case to test my knowledge and skills.
Many questions, though situational, did feel like they needed to be answered with text-book answers. Kind of felt like an interrogation more than anything else. Also seemed like the interviewer accepts only their way of doing things as the right answer.
