Shanghai, ShanghaiPosted Oct 2024 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My experience felt procedural but oddly shallow in how some parts played out.

I got an OA coding assessment first via HackerRank, which had three medium-to-hard LeetCode-like questions (graph/search type topics). I ended up performing well enough to move on.

The next stage was an easyHire math video test with five problems, and the format was tight: limited time to prepare and speak out solutions. After that, I had a quick phone screen that was less thorough than I expected—shorter than felt meaningful, centered on basic fit questions like why I wanted to apply, and it ended abruptly after I asked a couple questions myself. That whole segment felt like a formality
