Hong KongPosted Aug 2023 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My process began with an early round involving business development people, and it quickly set expectations around needing a strong, proven track record—even though I felt I was still too junior.

The interviewer was genuinely kind and even offered career guidance, but the conversation didn’t feel like it was about trick technicals.

After that, I moved into a more structured sequence with multiple additional rounds. There was an online stage that led into Zoom or phone conversations, and I eventually reached later stages that still included brain teasers and coding tasks. The final round was described to me as being more behavioral—talking through background, past internships, and even discussing salary expectations and other offers.
