Software Engineer Interview Experience - Singapore
January 20, 2017
Negative ExperienceNo Offer
Process
3-hour lengthy interview with an engineer, product manager, and country manager.
Start off with simple algorithm questions.
Then have a culture interview with two product managers.
Lastly, have a talk with the country manager about company direction.
No constructive feedback on why no offer. Great time wasted.
Questions
String manipulation. Is this a palindrome?
