Software Engineer Interview Experience - Singapore, Singapore
Process
The interview was two parts.
There was a phone screen with an engineer (who I was replacing). It went over my past experience and asked some theoretical questions about data structures and runtime complexities.
I was asked to come for on-sites where there was a one-hour algorithm interview (parentheses matching and find element in sorted rotated array (binary search)). This was followed by a coding assignment in the office.
Questions
The coding challenge was to implement a Redis server. I was given 2 hours to complete it. Googling was allowed.

- 3.0Good culture, work-life balance, slow progressionSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeSingapore, SingaporeSeptember 15, 2025Pros: Good culture, learning at own pace, and work-life balance.Cons: Slow progression, sometimes not sure what upper management's direction is.
- 1.0Worst job I had in 20 yearsSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeSeptember 9, 2023Pros: Work-life balance, remote work.Cons: Nice culture gone wrong. When your core principle is being nice, rather than make a product that people want to use, you get fiefdom protecting, meaningless bureaucracy, B-grade talent, and promotion based on niceness. I had no idea how ugly this can become after years of cultural dysmorphia.
