In the first round of the interview, the discussion typically covers self-introduction, work experience, and basic computer science questions. The entire process lasts about 55 minutes. During the self-introduction segment, you should concisely present your background and career goals. The work experience section should highlight your major achievements and projects, especially those relevant to the position you are applying for. Basic computer science questions may include topics such as algorithms, data structures, and system design.

Approached me for an interview, I did not apply for it explicitly. Sent me an invite, not much explanation on the interview. During the interview, the interviewer said "you are so confident, aren't you?" in a patronizing, condescending, cocky tone. During live coding section, interviewer went missing for awhile when I asked questions. No rejection e-mail either, completely ghosted.

The interviewer started the interview by speaking in Mandarin, which was not what i expected as the recruiter spoke to me in English and didn't inform me that the interview would be conducted in Mandarin.
There were quite a few communication problems through the interview as i struggled a little to understand the technical terms in mandarin, since i am not from China and learned computer science in English.

The coding question was ok: merge lists, find out whether a number in listA is smaller than in listB, etc.
However, i was asked some pretty difficult questions later on. Eg, Redis operations (which i obviously couldn't answer due to no experience with redis), ways to prevent double booking, rate limiting in a distributed environment (how to track all the counters)...
