Behavioral Technical

It was a disappointing and time-wasting experience. The recruiter seemed cold initially. The process was disorganized, with one interviewer no-showing and the recruiter unaware. Later rounds felt rushed and unstructured. Interviewers seemed unfamiliar with the Account Executive role and questioned my experience inappropriately, forcing me to clarify basic details. Despite multiple rounds and an onsite, I was rejected for lacking e-commerce experience, which should have been apparent earlier. There also seemed to be a lack of diversity. Overall, poor communication, disorganization, and disrespect for candidates' time.

Behavioral Technical

This role involves at least 3 rounds. You'll start with the HR/Recruiter, then meet the hiring manager, and finally the director. They tend to repeat questions, and prior experience like Ex-Amazon might not directly apply as the requirements are different. Don't expect questions about company values. It's mostly Q/A and walking through your resume.

Confirmed questions2 questions
  • Describe a situation where you disagreed with your manager.
  • Share an experience of encountering a significant challenge on a project.

Technical Coding Behavioral

The Shein Nanjing SDE interview process usually starts with a resume review, then an online coding challenge. After that, there are typically 1-2 technical interviews where they'll ask about algorithms and coding. Then you'll have a chat with the team or manager to talk about projects and how you communicate. Finally, an HR interview happens to see if you're a good culture fit and to discuss salary. If everything goes well, you'll get an offer.
