After I applied online, I got invited about three weeks later. The process felt pretty structured and quick, and it ended up being several rounds back-to-back rather than a long, drawn-out cycle. The interviews were in both English and Chinese, and I went through discussions with my future line manager as part of the flow.
What stood out to me was how compressed the timing was: I finished all rounds within roughly two months, with typical turnaround between steps around a week. Overall it felt efficient, even though there were multiple touchpoints—five rounds total, mostly product-focused, with one HR round mixed in.

Average Positive San Jose, CA
The process I experienced felt pretty streamlined and practical. I didn’t have to pretend to be a crypto expert either, because the overall expectation seemed to be that I could learn the space and show genuine interest. It helped that the interview structure was straightforward and didn’t drag on.
I started with an HR call to understand my background and fit. Then I met with the hiring manager and later a teammate to get a sense of what the team was working on. The team felt relatively new, so the role expectations came across as still evolving, which made the conversations feel more exploratory. After that, I spoke with the team lead, who mostly used Chinese but was okay with me answering in English and could understand it well.
