Process
60-minute interview:
- Two LeetCode mediums

The second round for system design is still pending.
Overall, not too bad, although your experience may vary.
Was passed on from a LinkedIn interviewer to schedule the call with two rounds:
- One round coding questions
- One round system design

Pros: They paid me much, and the company provided lots of benefits. I think the cost of living was really low when joining the company. I have to say it's a good place to earn money.
Cons: I only had time to sleep, and I needed to contribute all of my other time to the company. Bad! When I was in this company, I treated myself as a working robot.
