Software Engineer I Interview Experience - Shanghai, China
Process
After passing the online assessment, I was remotely interviewed for a software engineer position in Shanghai, China. The interview was conducted in Chinese.
The interview questions and experience were terrible, and they were very much in line with the bad stereotype of technical job interviews in China.
The three interviewers' questions were very dogmatic and rigid. They expected the successful interviewee to memorize all computer theory knowledge, rather than looking for an engineer who can solve problems. It seemed they were looking for a candidate who had successfully stood out in the Chinese college entrance examination system.
