Speaking Chinese is a hard requirement at times to do anything within the company. Leaders love to set unrealistic timelines for projects and expect results while chasing short-term impact. Work-life balance is non-existent, and the engineering culture is terrible.

Software Engineer (SWE II)
The process was two rounds of technical interviews and a technical assessment. You must write runnable code, and you may need to optimise from brute force. The focus was mainly on Data Structures & Algorithms, clean coding, and edge case handling.

LeetCode question for a technical round. The interviewer was patient and gave hints, but I couldn't figure it out. The overall experience was good. I need to prepare for more coding questions.
