SingaporePosted Mar 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I had a tougher, more fundamentals-heavy interview sequence with multiple coding rounds and at least one behavioral component, and it was challenging mainly because the technical bar felt high.

Recruiter-to-screen sequence — I started with an initial recruiter interaction before moving into multiple technical rounds.
Behavioral/leadership interview — I had a behavioral-style round positioned between technical interviews, focused on communication and leadership.
DSA coding rounds (graphs emphasized) — I worked through several DSA problems with a noticeable focus on graphs and other data structures.
Onsite coding mix (medium + difficult) — I did two code interviews, including one medium and one more difficult problem, and struggled to reach an optimal solution
