Average Interview
Application

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at MSD (Singapore) in Feb 2023

Interview

Had to do an online assignment that was like 30-40 mins before the interview followed by a online interview that lasted close to an hour. Attended the interview on 6th February 2023. They emailed me on 7th February to ask for extra details about myself which I answered and asked the outcome which they referred me to a HR whose name I do not want to disclose at MSD which didn’t reply to that email. 14th February I emailed them again, and again they referred me to the same HR which she finally replied to me saying she will revert back to me this week. So I waited till Friday 25th February and emailed her again asking the outcome as I had a few offers already and I wanted to know the outcome but this HR instead only replied ‘Thank you for your patience, you can go ahead to accept your other offers.’ Instead of making me chase them and wait for a reply I would’ve appreciated them telling me I didn’t get the job. I didn’t understand why there was a need to be this rude. Made me chase for two weeks to be turned down so rudely. Note that being turned down is normal for anyone who’s looking for a job but there’s no need for such attitude.

Application

I applied online. I interviewed at MSD in Feb 2023

Interview

- Interview process was smooth. HR shared all the required details well ahead of the interview. - Both the interviewers are not experienced in handling the interviews. They didn't prepare what to ask exactly. - Just for the sake of an interview they sat there. And one of the interviewer doesn't even know how to start the interview and it appeared that he is way less experienced than the position he is interviewing for. - Even after answering all the questions still they didn't select my profile and I didn't feel bad about this. - But when I asked then for a feedback there was no response. I would not bother reapplying.

Interview Questions
  • Explain about yourself ? Walk me through the process on how you designed an architecture in your previous project ? Deployment questions ? Product Management questions ? General Application management questions ?
