This post was last edited by Anonymous on 2025-09-30 15:54. My interview experience in August: Overall, it was a pretty good experience. The recruiter responded very promptly, and the follow-up after each round of interviews was also very timely. I was probably lucky to have met a reliable recruiter. The team match was also arranged immediately after the on-site performance, and I was given two teams. Please give me some points! The following content requires a score higher than 200. You can already view it. Shop Interview: The question about calculating the total number, similar to LeetCode problem B.

passed. Thanks to the Chinese girl who let me off the hook <3

System Design Design a group chat system. Unlike other companies, the interviewer focused more on the database table structure and how to query the required functions.

I don't know what the standard is for this round. Experience: The interview questions are half system design and half behavior from previous projects. They will ask some cross-team collaboration questions. Additional Content (2025-10-02 08:39) +08:00): The timeline is roughly as follows: Day 0: Recruiter reached out Day 6: Phone interview Day 7: Email said I
