Software Engineer Interview Experience - Singapore
Process
Interview process was quick:
-
HR screening: asked about working experiences and some short technical questions. HR was rude and disrespectful.
-
Zoom technical screening with 2 engineers: basic networking question and simple coding exercises on coderpad.io.
-
Onsite whiteboarding session with 3 engineers: 2 difficult algo questions and 1 system design on a whiteboard. The algo questions were hard, with not much time left for the system design question. The interviewers were not even interested in my explanation and rushed to finish the session.
There were 2 more non-technical sessions, but I didn't make it through the 3rd one.
