The interview process
Described in candidates’ own words.
“Normal interview process. Two rounds of coding with no insane LeetCode problems. One round of behavioral questions and past experiences. The interviewers and the recruiter were nice people. Good experience overall.”Candidate-reported process
“First, there was a recruiter call about basic things. Then, a one-hour online technical interview with someone from China. It was hard because their English wasn't great, so we had to ask each other to repeat stuff a lot. Got an email a few days later saying they weren't moving on with me.”Candidate-reported process
“The best way to pass the technical questions is to solve the most difficult questions, especially your weaknesses. That is the way that the interviewer likes to do. Mostly, they are a China-based team interviewing you, so there isn't small talk and chat as you expect. The interviewer didn't listen to the solution and did not respond to me during the process. It's really rude and disrespectful.”Candidate-reported processMore reports lockedRead 300+ more interview experiences
