After the referral, the recruiter contacted me via email, asking some behavioral questions: "Why us?" / "Why this new opportunity?" (Of course, I need to find a job after graduation). First Round: Design a hash map. Following instructions, I worked from simple to difficult, interspersed with technical questions like how to solve concurrency issues. (The following requires a score of 66 or higher to view) Second Round: A common OOD (Object-Oriented Design) coding question. I hadn't practiced it and answered it flawlessly on my first try. Third Round: Behavioral questions: "Most challenging project" + "If you could do it again?" (Both questions were about the same project); "What did you learn in your previous jobs?" Fourth Round: Similar to sales/study interviews. I chose a project and drew a diagram to explain.

HR They said the position was filled but I had been reassigned to another role and needed to do another round. During the second round, they included two behavioral questions: "Tough feedback" and "Disagreement." (The following requires a score of 66 or higher to view) Fifth Round: Still similar to sales/study interviews, but the interviewer specified a particular experience and a project to discuss. Unfortunately, I chose my fourth interview experience, so I had to explain it again. It was quite comprehensive; you need to prepare enough stories and projects to tell. The interview questions weren't similar to anything I'd looked around on the forum, and they didn't directly ask questions from coding practice websites. It's possible that the requirements differ depending on whether it's a group recruitment or an organization recruitment. So, if you encounter a difficult question, move on and apply to other companies and positions. Waiting for the results... Please give me points if this was helpful...
