Chinese speaking culture and long hours
Chinese speaking culture and long hours
Flat hierarchy, decent compensation, and great benefits (insurance coverage, 18 days of leave to start out, and a goodie bag for every festive occasion).
A large number of their staff is based in China, and most of them are more comfortable speaking in Mandarin. Even documentation is in Chinese. Expect communication issues if you are on a global team but are not a Mandarin speaker.
Working hours can be long. From what I hear, salary adjustments are minimal, so what you get now might be what you get for the next few years.

A recruiter reached out through LinkedIn. She has scheduled the first technical interview. Each interview is held after you pass the one before. The interview includes asking about: * Technical projects * SWE concepts * A problem-solving question

45min per round, a total of 3 rounds. Only enter the next round when the current round pass. 30min for a coding question, which needs to be compilable and correct. In my eye, this is quite challenging.

I had an initial online interview that was straightforward and very similar to interview questions seen on LeetCode. Studying LeetCode questions should help you pass the first round of the process.
