First approached by HR through a phone call on basic HR interview questions, for example, experience, salary expectations, notice period, etc. The manager conducted a phone interview on basic technical questions, then a face-to-face with a senior developer and the team lead on simple scenario-based design questions.

Interview
Applied online, got a phone interview in around 1-2 weeks.
Another follow up online interview within a week after that
- first hour general CV dive
- second hour technical test and discussion about it
I applied through other source. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at SG Digital in Apr 2021
Interview
Initial interview with HR, which was positive and left a good impression
Technical interview with Software Engineers, which was probably the opposite. I got the impression they weren't 1sy language English, as the questions were, at times, badly phrased or difficult to interpret. The interview didn't seem well planned, nor was there a positive or attractive 'feel', so within a few minutes I felt like it was a bit of a 'battery hen' feel to the company.
