Software Engineer (New Grad) Interview Experience - Singapore
Process
OA followed by two technical rounds.
Each round has a behavioral followed by a LeetCode problem.
Difficulty is around LeetCode medium/hard, but it's not that difficult.
Solved the problems successfully. Interviewers seemed friendly but did not move on.
Don't think they are serious about hiring; you can see from LinkedIn how many grads they hire. It's really a waste of both the candidate's and interviewer's time.
Questions
Behavioural questions and LeetCode Medium/Hard. Do LeetCode to prepare.
