Initially they did a telephonic screening and then invited to their campus for the interview process
Interviews happened at DBS Waverock Gachibowli. Stepped into their office at 11:30 AM on 09/24. Since it was a rainy day seems like there are not many candidates.
Written test is about 45 mins for 45 Marks, I got 20+ and got selected in written.
Then the Face to Face, they were concentrated on complete project details. Told me to explain entire project architecture and show how each component interacts with other components. Then couple of design level questions. The F & F taken around 2 hrs.
Luckily I was into second technical round. This is again purely a technical round which lasted around 30 mins
then the manager round, again some designing questions and couple of analytical questions.
then the HR Round where we discussed about salary req and all that stuff.
It was around 4 or 4.30Pm to finish all these rounds.
Interview was in Hyatt Palace. Total 3 rounds were there and 2 are coding rounds and one was technomanegerial round. Interviewers were very supportive I got the nice offer I have accepted the offer

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at DBS Bank (Singapore) in Jan 2025
Interview
I was initially contacted via SMS by a recruiter from the Treasury LOB at DBS Bank. At first, I was skeptical about the legitimacy of the message, as I expected all official communications from DBS to come through email. I had concerns that it could be a scam, but after further communication, I realized it was indeed a genuine outreach.
After the second interview, things took a turn. The interviewer couldn't match my current salary expectations. Despite a positive interaction with the team, the salary issue was a dealbreaker, and the process ended there.
2 rounds of interview, both are virtual. I have been reached out by 3rd party consultant. Interview was completed in a week and results were late. Overall i recommend DBS
