Behavioral Technical Presentation
This interview process felt like a complete waste of time given the extremely low salary offered. The skills test was unreasonably difficult and seemed designed for failure. The entire process dragged on for 4 months, involving 5 separate meetings with different teams. It also included a 2-hour skills test. I spent over 15 hours, both at their offices and in my life, only to be informed the role was under review and ultimately, no one was hired.

Presentation Behavioral
It started with a short self-introduction, then I presented some of my individual work, which could be from school or other relevant projects. After that, there were a few questions and answers. The whole thing was about 30 minutes long and took place online in a friendly atmosphere. I expect to hear back within a few days.

Behavioral Presentation
I had an online interview with 3 directors. I introduced my work and they asked some general questions about my work. I also had some questions about the firm and the position. They don't have any coordination office. The Shenzhen and Hongkong offices work closely. They are not only doing Chinese projects. This position is potentially a project lead for large scale Chinese projects.
