Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Build a pitch deck with an investment thesis for a startup.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Big Idea Ventures (Singapore) in Aug 2023
Interview
Unprofessional, the team and the process was so disorganized. Had to reintroduce myself every round which was fine, but was asked the same questions, why didn't the interviewers make a note, gave an impression the company didn't care.
I was told that I was placed on hold because I progressed too quickly in the interview stages. A note to the HR in order to not waste the time of the interviewers and the interviewees: if the firm is not able to accomodate actual full day position, plan better, i was already 4/5 stage of the interview progress.
