Behavioral Group Presentation
There were 2 rounds of interviews, first a video call and then a face-to-face one. The first interviewer was HR, who was really nice and even gave me some feedback. This round involved a self-introduction and a group discussion, conducted in both Chinese and English. The final face-to-face interview had both HR and the VP. The VP asked some challenging questions, but overall, the experience was pretty relaxed.
