Process
I applied for a job at an HR company from Singapore. The application had many phases, including a programming test, a video interview, a face-to-face interview, and a final offer meeting.
I did not pass the face-to-face interview.
The programming test was a two-dimension math problem. The video interview provided the questions for you; it was easy.
If you passed the above phases, you would be contacted to do a technical interview. The interviewer asked about my understandings of web, DB, load balance, and the specific job I wanted to do at this company. I thought I didn't do well in this interview.
