The selection process comprised of four rounds, which included one technical round and three rounds to evaluate behavioral and team fit. Each of these rounds was quite extensive and took approximately 2-4 weeks to complete. As a result, the entire process was quite lengthy and involved a considerable amount of time and effort.

Had an in-person interview with potential supervisor and HR, did an assignment, and had another in-person interview with the Director. Overall, the process was protracted, but what I was most shocked by was that the organisation left me hanging after the interview with the Director. I followed up 3 weeks later, to which they said to let them know if I had an offer. Followed up again 1.5 months later, to say I had a pending offer and they asked if I would like to withdraw my candidature as they were still reviewing candidates for the role. I said I would still like to be kept in consideration, and am still waiting till this day. It has been 4 months since I had my first interview…is the hiring process at Temasek really that slow, or did they just reject me without informing me? Am absolutely fine if there’s another candidate who’s more suited to the role, but thought an update was the least they could have provided, especially since I was already at the final stage.
