TaiwanPosted Apr 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I began with a recruiter HR call that felt structured but still conversational.

The recruiter introduced the role and walked through the general interview process, then we moved into behavioral questions like why I wanted to join and what a challenging project looked like from my perspective.

After the behavioral part, the call shifted into a handful of basic technical questions. The topics were around fundamental data structures—like comparing an array and a linked list—followed by a lighter object-oriented design scenario that was meant to gauge problem-solving and how I think about design.

Everything felt friendly and supportive, and the interviewer stayed engaged
