Telephone interview first, which is what I am reviewing here as haven't got to the end of process yet. interview was good. Quite casual and completely strength based which was great. With some simple preparation of strength based questions and some answers/notes available you should be fine with this interview.

The first interview was with the recruiter. He was nice and genuinely interested. Following that, the second interview was a behavioural and technical round, 30 min each. The behavioural interview was more situational/about how you would handle different situations, while the technical round tested you on coding logic and algorithms. Not sure why they test so many technical skills when they advertise themselves as a training programme that is available for mid-career switch people, people who would not have skills in that department and thus want to take the training programme. Starting pay is SG$2.1k for the training period, then 3.6k for first year and 3.9k for second year. You will be bonded by contract for 2 years and breaking the contract will require you to repay the training fees.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at FDM Group (Hong Kong) in Jul 2022
Interview
The interviewer was an hour late without notifying me first, the whole thing felt very rushed. The interviewer's words seems very calculated and tricky. The whole experience wasn't exactly pleasant.
