Software Engineer Interview Experience - Shanghai, Shanghai
Process
The screening interview was quite easy. Nothing complicated was asked.
I then went through the 5-round loop interview but failed.
During the loop interviews, most of the time was about projects. Since I was interviewing for a computer vision position, my projects concerning computer vision were mostly discussed.
The coding problems were of medium or easy LeetCode level. It was not enough to just give the correct answer; you should be able to explain it.
