I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at DBS Bank in Apr 2026
Interview
The interviewer was not very friendly, or perhaps he was just in a bad mood. He frequently interrupted me while I was answering and often did not give me enough time to respond properly. Although I was interviewing for a Software Engineer role, many of the questions felt irrelevant to the position or the tech stack mentioned in the JD. Overall, I had a very poor interview experience.
