If I’m studying overseas, can I apply to a location in the Asia Pacific region?

• Yes! Students studying overseas who plan to return to their home country in Asia Pacific are welcome to apply. In some cases, we may also consider international students who require work visa sponsorship, depending on business needs. Please note that most office locations require proficiency in the local language.

Do I need to speak the local language if English is not the primary language of the office I’m applying to?

• Yes. For programs in Japan, Korea, mainland China and Taiwan, proficiency in the local language is required. In Singapore, we welcome candidates who speak, read and write native Southeast Asian languages – such as Thai, Tagalog, Bahasa or Vietnamese – as these skills are highly valued.

If I am an MBA or PhD student interested in Asia Pacific opportunities, am I eligible for the Full-Time Analyst Program or Summer Internship Program?

• These programs are designed for undergraduate and master’s students, so we unfortunately do not offer opportunities for MBA or PhD students in Asia Pacific. We encourage you to explore roles for experienced professionals, where your advanced skills and expertise can make a significant impact.

Pre-interview assessment

What is the pre-interview assessment?

• It’s a short video response you’ll complete as part of the application process. After submitting your online application, you’ll receive a link to record your answers. For each question, you'll have three minutes to prepare and up to 90 seconds to respond. The entire process takes less than 10 minutes and must be completed in one sitting within five days of submitting your application.

What is the coding test?

• The coding test is an online assessment required for Software Engineering and Analytics & Modeling roles. It includes a series of coding questions followed by one video question. You’ll have five calendar days to complete the coding portion, which typically takes about 60 minutes. The video question must be completed in one sitting.

How can I complete the pre-interview assessment or coding test?

If I apply to more than one function, will I be required to complete a pre-interview assessment or coding test for each opportunity?
