Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Singapore, Singapore
Process
The interview process was fine. It wasn't very hard, and they tested lots of concurrency concepts.
The ironic part was when I shared my monthly salary and my expectations. They made the exact same offer as my current package, which, to me, sounded like a joke. I wondered how people on Earth could accomplish such a thing.
It turned out that they mistook my monthly salary plus a zero at the end as my annual income and then offered me the exact same package, as if they were adding two more months' salaries.
Alright, despite all the justifications regarding COVID-19 and tight budgets, to me, it was a total waste of time. If you do wish to hire during this difficult period for everyone, at least be professional and decent.
Just be careful, people!
I wasn't even angry. I had to hold back from laughing about it.
Also, maybe I'm just not good enough, but this experience is definitely the worst of all.
Questions
Java package and concurrency questions.
Behavioral question regarding conflict resolution.

Up to the individual to learn and grow within the org. Paid on par with the competition. Good work-life balance.Cons: Managers themselves are not aware of what's happening within the organization. Career growth is a question for the employees. Lots of changes within the organization leave the employees clueless about what's happening. Not sure of what the future is for the Chennai Development Centre. Lots of attrition in recent times. A total demotivation among the employees. Not sure if the people are really interested in coming to work daily. Not that open to switching to open technologies. People are not opening up and interested in learning new technologies.
