Behavioral

I got this interview from the North America recruiting event of Sohu. When I went to the recruiting place, lots of resumes were just placed on the table for anyone to grab. That made me feel a bit uneasy because your resume could get lost easily. The interviewer was nice, though. They talked to me in a kind and encouraging way, even though I don't have a strong background in internet or computer science.

It was a three round process. First, an HR round with basic behavior questions. Then, a phone screen round with tech questions. Lastly, a round with very easy leetcode questions. The whole process lasted about 1 month.
