I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Huawei Technologies
Interview
I have an Olympiad (IMO) background. I was approached on LinkedIn by a recruiter. Then an online interview via Zoom was scheduled. Soon enough, I got the offer as well.
I interviewed at Huawei Technologies (Montreal, QC)
Interview
Give a 30 minute presentation followed by technical Q&A. Followed by general knowledge questions in your research field, and finally a 30 minute period for two leetcode style coding questions
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Based on your existing research, create a new hypothesis and experiment plan for what you would want to test the second time around
30min presentation of my research (slides required). Then, a Q&A part based on my research. No coding and deep technical questions. The process is smooth and peaceful. Two interviewers. Language: Chinese.
The interview consisted of 1 question, which was resembling a leetcode question, but actually was an open problem (ie my interviewer did not have a full answer to it).
Instead of my ability to code/solve problems the interviewer was curious about my ability to come up with ideas and being able to communicate and discuss them.
