Overall, the interview process was smooth and good. The interviewer is nice and provided quite some insights of the company background and how the team is work and the expectations of the role.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at TabSquare (Kuala Lumpur) in Jul 2025
Interview
1st round was a phone interview with HR. 2nd round, was a conference call with the VP of Ops. For the 3rd round, I was asked for an onsite interview with the VP. I wasn’t aware that I will be tested on my Excel skills. I was given 5 questions and about an hour, to sort out a bunch of datas as according to the questions. I think it went fine. The real kicker was, after excel test, there was a speaking part of the interview, conducted completely in professional Mandarin, which completely threw me off guard. The JD mentioned that mandarin was just a bonus, not a requirement. I felt like a deer caught in headlights as I was completely unprepared of speaking in professional Mandarin.
I would suggest to update your JD to better reflect the actual requirements of the role. This would greatly save everyone’s time and effort.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Pretty basic/typical interview questions for round 1 and 2. Just know that you will be asked to speak in professional Mandarin, as there are Tabsquare offices located in Taiwan/HK.
I applied through other source. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at TabSquare (Brisbane) in May 2025
Interview
Initial conversation and never even responded after. No, follow up and ignoring my messages. I found this very unprofessional to be ghosted. I was told i would hear back within 3 days but never heard anything. We communicated via LinkedIn first.
