Process

I applied through an employee referral. The process took two weeks.

There were three rounds in total. Every round included a deep dive into the resume, foundation questions, two to three coding questions, and behavioral questions. The process was overall fair enough. Coding took place on their own platform. Interviews might sometimes be conducted in Chinese.
