2 rounds. 1 with the HR and head of department, another with the MD. A take home written assignment in between the two rounds. Process was ok, interviews can be draggy because they can talk a LOT! Assignment is irrelevant to the work you will do
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Global Institute For Tomorrow (Kuala Lumpur) in May 2025
Interview
It was straightforward, but I have a strong external sense, and I know the two interviewers felt intimidated, jealous, and protective of my accomplishments and results. I did not felt good either way when I entered the room.

I applied online. I interviewed at Global Institute For Tomorrow (Hong Kong)
Interview
- The initial interview was satisfactory, and the value proposition of the organisation appeared interesting.
- During the final interview, I had some concerns based on reviews I had read about the organization. There seemed to be a discrepancy between the brand identity and with the director who represents the organisation. This gave me some reservations about the alignment and stability of the organisation. I also had concerns about the working culture based on these observations.
