I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bank Central Asia (Jakarta) in June 2021
Interview
It was supposed to be a session with a professional psychologist, examining your personality and whatnot. I was rather excited at first, having decent experiences talking with many a psychologist for personal/academic purposes. But it was different this time:
My appointment was firstly scheduled at 10am, two weeks upon receiving the invitation e-mail. The psychologist personally contacted me D-1 to move up the schedule to 8.30am. This was too early for me but I sincerely felt that I had an asymmetric power to be assertive, so I said yes to the new arrangement.
The psychologist was late for 12 minutes, ironically to her own schedule and it just went downhill from there. She acted more like some sort of a bully than a psychologist; asking tricky questions and would not hesitate to point your answers out, as if you were in a test hall. Some questions would just be repetitive (e.g., "Are you sure that you are an expert of such thing?" followed by "But would that not make you incapable of doing other things?" Very generic and black-and-white which makes no sense. She was suggesting that being skilled in one area forbids you to be good on other aspects.) All in all, such an unpleasant experience.
Next time BCA wants to recruit someone, it would perhaps be a better idea to make use the aid of a high school freshie than such psychologist with multiple degrees. Would love to report this, but I guess recruiters are immune to law in this forsaken place.

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What was your strategy in dealing with difficulties while pursuing your degree
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Bank Central Asia (New York, NY) in May 2022
Interview
2-3 days after SHL test
I got an email for HR user interview (I don't get to do the psychologist HR first) and I had to fill some Forms and Document scans to confirm my attendance.
The interviewer came in 5 minutes late but still bearable for me because timing issues. I barely can understand what the interviewer said and its basically a basic question regarding your past 2-3 years experience at organization or daily lives, and ask it in really detail.
I was interrupted by interviewer when introducing myself and it was kinda rude and yawns when I am answering my question. I also can't ask all my question properly. Which I was not expecting from big profesional bank employees.
I suggest to answer it with STAR method (Situation, Task, Action and Result). I was confused because it was my first MT user interview and didn't answer it properly.
I knew this method after my failed attempt of interview.
I didn't get the offer and was moved to other applications.
