Interviewer seems like he'd rather not even be there.
I've always pronounced it "sigh-nuss" too. Especially since most of the English pronounciation rules with G before N next to each other have the G silent (ie gnome, campaign, sign, foreigner, design, etc). I'm probably still going to keep to that pronounciation.
