Overall, my experience was quite disappointing. I was informed that the role would primarily focus on intermediary distribution, particularly as the company expands from private banks to second-tier retail banks like DBS. I was also being told that a strategic mindset and the pursuit of partnership opportunities would be essential. However, the reality was the opposite. The position seemed to revolve around strategic projects more akin to consulting, involving market research, competitor analysis, and market mapping, while Intermediary sale is secondary duty. Additionally, I was scheduled for a meeting on very short notice, only for it to be canceled without any apology. The hiring manager's demeanor was quite unfriendly and condescending. She reacted disproportionately when I made mistakes while describing the role (Although i was being told that before meeting her, nonetheless personally I don't believe a candidate has to describe the role 100% correctly). This was the first time I encountered such arrogance in an interview, indeed even in client meetings, I have never came across such attitude. I believe that mutual respect is fundamental in any professional interaction, and it was disappointing to experience such behavior from a firm that emphasizes collaboration. The entire process left me feeling that their approach is more top-down than truly collaborative.
