Interview
One online assessment on Hackerrank. Medium difficulty managed to pass all of the questions.
2 back to back online technical interviews.
The first interviewer asked whether I could speak Chinese as his English was not the best. He didn't lie as I couldn't really understand what he was saying. As a result, I didn't understand what he was asking for.

Interview
Usually 3-4 stages each being roughly 45 mins.
Started with director, sr director, then up the food chain. Questions are simplistic and relevant to your resume. Overall it’s a slow process but fair

Interview
It was a friendly environment, felt comfortable to discuss the questions and topics that arose. The interviewer was open and frank, and the conversation progressed naturally. Importantly, to speak from your own experience as that was what the interviewer focused on.
