Software Engineer Interview Experience - Singapore, Singapore
Process
- Take-home test on HackerRank
- 4 technical rounds
- Behavioral round
There were 2-3 weeks between each round, during which the interviewer usually did not reply despite 1-2 follow-up emails.
There were only supposed to be 3 technical rounds, but I was suddenly given a 4th technical round, which I failed.
The hiring manager was apparently out of office, but for 2 months? Hard to believe.
The people I spoke to in Singapore and the UK behaved as if a gun was pointed at them off-camera. There was no joy at all in conducting the interview.

- 2.0Good pay, and that's it.Software Engineer • Former EmployeeDecember 5, 2021Pros: There was free food and good industry par benefits.Cons: Dull unimaginative management, poor work culture, tech that is interesting if you're junior but quickly gets boring and is already way behind any major technology company, marginal career and growth prospects, and a nepotism that is institutionalized towards one or two schools and nationalities characterize the experience. There are companies out there paying less, but if you are ambitious, you should find a company that gives you a better career foundation elsewhere.
