I went through a short, fast-moving process centered on a hiring-manager discussion and a coding session. The manager round covered my past experience, then I had an objective-oriented coding exercise rather than a usual LeetCode-style problem. There was also an HR call afterward that felt separate from the main loop.
What stayed with me was the gap between the technical conversation and my expectation of the role. The interviewer sounded surprised that my resume had been shortlisted and said they wanted something much more WinForms-heavy. Given the travel involved, it was disappointing to learn that the job direction did not match the original description or my expertise.
I completed everything in a single day, and it was coordinated, but that mismatch made it hard to trust the process. I did not get an offer. Even a smooth interview day cannot fix poor role alignment.
Location: Hong Kong. Overall feedback: positive. Offer status: no offer.
