Horrible company with fake culture
Horrible company with fake culture
The CEO is the main pro. Otherwise, the benefits and offerings on campus are not even comparable to what other large companies in tech provide. The best perk is their fitness allowance, I guess. WLB is pretty good too because you don't really need to work, as the company is overhiring.
If you don't speak Mandarin, you're at a heavy disadvantage. 95%+ of the company is Chinese, so you'll have to get used to being in meetings where only Chinese is spoken and seeing the language spoken in the office and all your chat threads.
Also, it's very obvious that everyone at the company is forced to do what satisfies HQ (aka "China Team").
Try to be diverse. Stop enforcing East Asian work standards and culture in the US offices. Pay more.

- Introduced the team (10 mins) and asked questions for the interviewer (unusually). - The coding problem had a vague description and turned out to be a medium-to-hard graph problem. There was not enough time to finish the problem.

Self-introduction. Two simple questions about my experience. Then jump to the LeetCode question. No question description. Nothing, just the verbal description. You need to get clarification from the interviewer in that way.

Applied through the school referral system. Got an OA after a couple of weeks. We could choose a timeframe to take the assessment, and if you missed it, you could take it the following week.
