I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at RICE Communications (Singapore) in May 2021
Interview
The team was very accommodating with my schedule. The several rounds went smoothly. They also provided some insight into company culture and a bit about the work processes and expectations which were very important things to know from the get-go
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do you see yourself contributing to the company
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at RICE Communications (Hong Kong) in Nov 2024
Interview
Job interview was for the Hong Kong office. First round is a video call with HR. Then, there is a written test with a Chinese section and English section. Second interview round is in-person with an account director.
HR said they'd update me whether I got through or not. I would have rated RICE to have a great interview experience. But they never got back to me, even after following multiple times over WhatsApp (well they did initially but later did not), and for solely this reason I'm rating the experience neutral.
