The interview process involved 2 hours of calls, followed by 2 technical calls where I was asked quite hard fundamental computer science problems covering topics like hash maps, memory, and cache. They also included LeetCode hard problems and a general discussion about my understanding of different algorithms.

Technical
I interviewed for an internship at Tencent, but the interviewer was not very engaged and the interview was scheduled very late. The interviewer didn't seem to care about my answers and kept interrupting me, so I couldn't really explain my skills. Also, the interview was set up with less than 24 hours' notice, and the interviewer claimed it was the only time they could do it, which messed up my schedule. If they really needed someone right away, they should have said so at the beginning, so I wouldn't waste my time on an interview that wouldn't lead to a quick job offer.
