J'ai postulé via la recommandation d'un employé. Le processus a pris 3 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Sygnum (Zurich) en mai 2025
Entretien
Easy algorithm question, casual talks. Everyone is a Senior Software Engineer but I did not see any senior. Teams are splitted by business streams and composed by mnay externals, and stack in Java and Nest.js. You will have a couple of rounds.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Wie gehen Sie mit kritischen Produktionsvorfällen um?
J'ai postulé en ligne. J'ai passé un entretien chez Sygnum (Singapour) en sept. 2024
Entretien
The interviewer was disinterested and sarcastic. She ended up contemptuously questioning our back-end security protocols for 20+ minutes. These in fact are very strict. At the end, the interviewer gave curt two-sentence responses to my questions.
I did make two factual mistakes under her sarcastic questioning; however, she made a mistake as well (contemptuously implying that encrypting API keys is stupid).

Question 1
You “actually” encrypt your API keys? (said with derision)
