I went through a structured five-round process. It started with a recruiter screen with HR, conducted in Chinese because the role was based in China. About a week later, I had an informal 30-minute conversation with the hiring manager that felt more like a chat than an interrogation.
The next panel round had me present a past project and answer questions from people who seemed to represent my potential future team. After that came a technical round built around a simplified real-world problem, where I explained my design and solution. There was also a quick Python check in which I wrote two for-loops, followed by questions about Git and unit testing.
The final executive interview lasted about 30 minutes and was mostly casual conversation. The process felt organized, moving clearly from fit to technical depth. I noticed the tone shift from formal to relaxed as the rounds went on.
Location: Beijing, Beijing. Overall feedback: positive. Offer status: got offer.
