I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at FDM Group (Glasgow, Escocia) in Apr 2016
Interview
I applied online and they contacted me via mail initially. I called them and after a very short interview (a couple of questions mainly about my CV), they accepted me for the video interview. The video interview was successful and I was then invited to the assessment centre. The whole process was very quick (5 days) and the overall experience was positive.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Questions about my background and why I want the specific role.
I applied online. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at FDM Group (Leeds, England) in Jun 2016
Interview
I applied online in Dec, a recruiter called next day. Since I have not finished my degree by Sep, they said they are going to do interview in May. In May, she called me again, I had arranged an phone interview time. The questions are provided below. After the phone interview, receiving the result in a hour saying I passed it and I was invited to an assessment centre on 8th June. It was quite easy but I had some personal things needed to handle at that time, I did not make it well. Only one interview with a person from China, HK or Singapore. The interview was really simple lasting for 10-15 minutes as well. After the assessment day, they emailed me I have passed which surprised me a lot. Some hints for people who are applying ASPA, the interview question would be quite different from those people applying in UK, they are very easy HR questions. Focusing more on IT attitude test, this one is the most difficult part, as long as you practice, it is easy as well.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at FDM Group (New York, NY) in May 2016
Interview
one initial phone interview, then one online assessment, 2 days later they told me to have one final skype interview in HK. But actually it is not the final interview, they told me they wanted me to introduce myself briefly again to next account manager. The managers are nice, and questions are simple such as Linux and java. Because of time difference, I have the last interview in 9:30pm Thursday, and now it is already Friday, I haven't got a reply.
