They offer around 10 practice questions.
The practice questions are irrelevant to the actual test questions, so I do not recommend wasting your time on them. Practice questions are for getting used to the platform.
[Actual Interview]
Preparation time = around 2~3mins
Answer time = around 1.5~2mins
Retry = max 3 times
There were around 4~5 questions.
Introduction + Why this company/why this role + .....
Mostly basic + behavioral questions.
The last one was related to the position I applied for.
It was sth like... "Analyze the current industry trend and come up with the new product idea (card?) + Who would be your target consumer and how will you promote it"
The process was good and quite simple. Very straightforward and explicitly focused on the role. Was extremely business focus.
Hybrid work culture and more focused on the engagements and multitasking related questions.
