Very sketchy interview process, went through some random person that refused to reveal the company name till a few weeks/months has passed. Had some generic Codility / Leetcode similar website Assignment question posted to you but was very weird. Intrusive webcam sharing all these was bad enough, but understandable, the problem was the questions were all blurred and have to hover over them to see what is needed (like you guys really need to change whatever provider you guys are on and just have a normal test). There is a face to face interview as well at their office. The office location was sketchy at best, at some weird place within Orchard Towers. The vibe around the area was just creepy and weird in general. Nice pantry, but other than that, nothing too remarkable.
The interview process is bad and the interviewer is not responsive at all. The person who communicated with me via email is unprofessional and unpleasant. I would working in this company at all cost.
