It was awkward because it was a video conference as opposed to in-person. A higher positioned person entered the meeting late, did not turn on their camera and out of nowhere chastised me for leaving my former company. This person expected blind loyalty for life apparently.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Panasonic in Jun 2021
Interview
Technical recruiter reached out to me about some open positions. Started with phone screening which went really well. About a week later had an interview with the hiring manager that was ok.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Panasonic (Singapur) in Jun 2021
Interview
I applied online and was shortlisted for the interview for Panasonic R&D in Singapore. In the interview, there were 3 panellists. First I made a presentation for 30 mins and followed by questions for another 45 minutes. Questions were from both past projects, technical questions related to Machine Learning and a programming test, where they test basics using an IDE. The interview questions related to ML were tricky, as I couldn't able to answer some questions. Only one interview. I received an offer of 4500 SGD next day (plus AWS and VB) that is on a renewable 1 year contract.
