Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Singapore
January 1, 2021
Negative ExperienceNo Offer
Process
They don’t really test on what you’ll be working on once hired. Also, there is a take-home coding exercise that will be ignored in the following interview. Instead, you need to do a couple of algorithmic challenges in a short live coding round, which is stupid and not part of everyday work.
Questions
Can you write working code for these algorithmic challenges?
