Most roles require 2 interviews with management and higher management. The HR is fast and friendly. Post any queries to them and they will get back to you with answers from the relevant parties. However, do note that they may not know much about the job scope. However, be prepared to wait a long time for security clearance for up to 3 months so apply early!

InterviewI applied through college or university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at DSO National Laboratories (Singapore) in Feb 2021
First interview by a panel of hiring managers and second interview by senior director. During the first interview you will be interviewed for suitability for the projects they have by the different managers and then second interview by the senior director seems to be more regarding personality. Overall they seemed pretty focused on academic result.

Application
InterviewI applied online. I interviewed at DSO National Laboratories in Aug 2020
DSO HR lied about a change of business needs and cancelled my interview right after I submitted all my documents to them. They still continued posting the job advert afterwards, and did not reply me when I asked for feedback or the reason why. This shows a lot about the organization, when their HR lies and ignores candidates right after they spent time compiling all the documents for submission. At least be truthful when you realise the candidate may not be that suitable and you want to cancel the interview. This leaves a very bad impression on the company, and a government organisation nonetheless.
Interview Questions
- Please submit all your documents in word format and your latest payslip.
