I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at FDM Group (Singapore) in Oct 2023
Interview
Started with a phone call screening whereby the recruiter ask for your expected salary, then move on to a zoom interview, then afterwards an online assessment (simple math, pattern, programming questions). After you pass the online assessment, there will be a day where you need to physically go down to their office (they call it assessment centre day) whereby they'll share information about the graduate program, then afterwards you will go for a technical interview and a strength based interview. The interview process was good overall. The recruiter gave feedback after every round, which is very useful and not very common for interviews.

Interview
It contains 3 different rounds: Phone Interview, Video Interview, Aptitude test which require 75% passing, and a final day assessment which contains a whole day. Some of the practice questions can be found on their webpage and it takes less than 2 weeks to go through all the rounds of interview.
While the recruiter said it will be open for non-IT tech background, they expected you to have quite a strong knowledge in coding skills.
1st Phone Interview is quite direct, talk about yourself, what are your language skills, background, etc. The recruiter is very friendly. She explained clearly about the interview process and the program.
2nd Video Interview is similar to a phone interview but involves a little more strength-based questions.
The final assessment involved two rounds, a video interview with the account manager and finally the technical trainer.

Interview
Straight forward. Initial screening involved a brief chat over the phone with a recruiter/HR. After that you just need to complete an aptitude test. Then some STAR questions and questions about projects. After that a virtual assessment centre where they describe the role.
