I had a call with a recruiter, then there were 3 interviews with the hiring manager and some team members. There was also a take home test that was pretty easy to do. The whole process was pretty good, but it took a while to get from one interview to the next.

HR reached out to confirm interview details. Then, there was a Teams interview conducted in both English and Putonghua, featuring a standard self-introduction and some questions about assets. The managers who conducted the interview seemed quite young and their criteria weren't clear.
