Interview
After your resume submission, the hired manager will evaluate your capability. Usually three rounds of interviews, and one week gap between each interview. One more piece of advice for the new graduate is prior to submitting your resume on the official website rather than the recruitment website.

Question 1
Logic-based questions and focus on intern experience, understanding the 5W1H for your past experience is essential. For operation-related jobs, a school background is a threshold, QS100 will be good enough, master's degree wound gives you an obvious advantage.

Interview
I received the interview invitation for the Product Operations position via LinkedIn. The first interview was smooth, and I received feedback about a week later, considering there was a holiday period in between. However, the second interview, conducted by the Beijing department, was quite disappointing. The interviewer mentioned I would receive feedback within a week, but it has been much longer, and I haven’t received any update. Overall, the communication after the second round felt unprofessional and unclear.

Interview
Worst interview process I have ever encountered.
I applied online and was contacted by their in-house recruiter by email. The email was literally just the same questions about my previous experience that were on their application, and all of which were easily verified by skimming my resume. Then I had a phone screen, where the recruiter read the exact same questions verbatim and did not have any more specific information about the role or timeline.
After multiple communications back and forth with the recruiter to obtain availability, I was finally able to connect via video with the hiring manager. The hiring manager who was hiring for a different role than the one I applied for, and the hiring manager who once again asked the exact same questions that were in the application.

Do you have at least 2 years experience with Scrum teams?
I have first round with my mentor and, the second round with the team leader. These two rounds most talk about my CV, and last round with hr talked about working time.
