Capital Dynamics is an investment adviser company. They are looking to expand their current IT department.

I went for the interview. It took me about 5 hours for the whole process. First, you will have 4 sets of questions to answer (multiple choice). Next, 4 essay questions to write. Last part was the group interview and group discussion.

Currently I am still waiting for their feedback on my application. I would say it will be a good learning experience there. Well, wish me luck!

I join when I was a fresh 2.5 years back. RM1.8k, but if you put 2k they will also accept. Because tan teng boo is super damn rich.

I went for the interview 1-2 weeks ago. I am still waiting for their feedback. Tips? Hmm.. I think you better read up some about CMS. They will ask you lots of questions, technical/non-technical.

I went for the equities analyst position, and from previous posts from sb who went for IT position, i guess the interview process quite similiar across different positions.

my case is 3 essays (explain and tell sth about yourself) + 4 sets : IQ+numerical+ verbal + ??? tests (similar to other assessments in banking jobs, maybe they want to show that they are selective, so they give 4 sets instead of the usual 2 sets) + 1 group interview. I went there 9am and went back 3pm. (break in between).

If you are selected for the final round, would be a meetup with tan teng boo.

Hehehehe...when I went for interview there wayyyyy back in 2000 I also had to do the same thing - IQ test + essay writing. They were looking for a CTO position. Asking stuff mainly about Java and open-source.

Back then, they weren't very big. Straight away got interviewed by Tan (and son, I think, very young).

Needless to say, didn't get it.. tongue.gif
