Candidatei-me online. Fui entrevistado pela Vyond (Hong Kong) em mar. de 2023
Entrevista
Overall: Engineering team seems nice to work with, HR behaviour sours the whole experience. Applied online via email. Received screening HackerRank to finish within a week. Invited to an hour-long online call with two engineers and a manager. HR reached out on the next working day asking about my availability. Aaand then complete ghosting...

FYI, they seem quite adamant about using JavaScript. HackerRank: easy trivia section about algorithm runtimes, linked lists, JavaScript async, and a LeetCode easy-style question about parentheses matching. Online call: Decently positive experience, they were clearly prepared; discussed a fair bit about my CV and GitHub. Some trivia about data structures like BSTs and tries, some systems design like database ACID operations and indexing with red-black trees, and some computer graphics like the pipeline order and the reasoning for homogeneous coordinates. Also had to solve a LeetCode medium-ish trie question--forgot exactly what.
Candidatei-me online. O processo levou 5 dias. Fiz uma entrevista na empresa Vyond (Hong Kong).
Entrevista
1. I applied the SE position.
2. I received hackerrank test.
3. I completed the test with 100% answers correct and received onsite interview
4. The onsite interview asks several very easy programming questions and one math question, I got all correct but the last math question, the interviewer asks me to write the solution out without telling me the complexity constraints, the solution is correct, but I think they want a faster solution (that question needs the candidate knows some knowledge of number theory). They say the result is good and will give the assignment after several days.
5. One day later, I got rejected. Honestly, I dunno why.
Thoughts: I think the interview process of this company is not professional, they should hire a software engineer who knows how to make better software and write better code instead of challenging the candidate with unrelated questions. I feel that there is one possibility they not aim to employ good software engineers but a bundle of cheap monkeys who does not have minds of software engineering but can just write cheap code fast.
