WebsiteHow they hire
The staged flow is the campus programme in China. Experienced hires skip the written test in most reports, and some interviews are held in Mandarin.
- 1
Online application or referral
ReportedApplication screenRemoteGraduates can apply more than once in a season with two preferences each time, or leave the department open and let the system match them to teams with gaps.
- 2
Online written test
ReportedOnline testRemoteMost technical campus roles require an online written test, recommended before interviews. There is one attempt per track, so applying across engineering, algorithms and data means sitting each track’s test.

Online assessment

Technical interviews, usually three
ReportedTechnical interviewCandidates commonly report about three technical rounds, often a week or two apart. The first tends to mix live coding with a walk through past projects, and later rounds with team leads lean on programming concepts and project depth.

Letter of intent, then offer
ReportedOfferCampus hires receive a letter of intent before the formal offer.
What comes up
Recurring themes from candidate accounts, not a question bank. Nobody is served by leaked question lists, least of all you in the interview.
Your own projects and internships
ReportedReports describe interviewers spending a large share of each round on past projects and internship work, alongside the coding.
Worth reading before you apply
From the Sefism resource library, matched to the rounds above.
A foundations course that builds eleven core data structures from the ground up (arrays, matrices, stacks, queues, linked lists, trees and BSTs, hash tables, hash sets, heaps, graphs and tries), then covers sorting, searching, greedy and divide and conquer. Every chapter has practice problems, flashcards and an assessment. It suits students and career switchers whose foundations came from tutorials and who find pattern courses move too fast.

- CS fundamentals
A browsable practice library of coding problems that can be filtered by pattern, data structure, difficulty and company, so you can drill exactly the weakness you found this week. Patterns include two pointers, sliding window, hash maps, stacks, backtracking and greedy algorithms, with company filters for Google, Meta, Microsoft, Amazon, Oracle and LinkedIn. Free to browse, with an in-browser editor and solutions.

- DSA
A practical course on negotiating compensation in tech, from preparing and building a strategy to specific tactics, the full package beyond base salary, handling multiple offers and asking for a raise. It has tailored sections for fresh graduates and experienced engineers. It suits anyone with an offer coming, and anyone who has ever accepted the first number out of discomfort.

A sequenced path of six text-based courses for the engineering manager interview loop, combining coding, system design, microservices patterns, people management scenarios and senior leadership questions. It suits engineers moving into management and managers changing companies, who need to prepare for both the technical and the leadership rounds without piecing a plan together themselves.

A very large site of articles on data structures, algorithms and core CS subjects such as operating systems, DBMS, computer networks and OOP, usually with code in several languages, plus practice problems and paid courses. It is handy for revising a university topic or finding a worked example of a specific algorithm. Quality varies because much is community written, so cross-check anything surprising against a textbook or official documentation.
- DSA
- CS fundamentals
- Databases
An eight-stage roadmap through the core CS subjects: how a computer runs a program, OOP and design, operating systems, computer networks, database theory and internals, software engineering and theory, finished with a systems project such as a shell, an HTTP server or a tiny database. It suits CS students and self-taught developers filling the same gaps, and favours understanding shown in working code over memorised answers.

What it pays
Nothing collected for this company yet, and nothing worth guessing at. A made-up range is worse than no range because people negotiate against it.
Universities they recruit from
No sourced university links yet. A campus drive, a career fair appearance or an internship partnership is what puts a university here.
How to actually get seen
You only get one written test attempt per track, so do not spread applications across engineering, algorithm and data roles unless you are ready for each test.

Want me to refer you here?
Send me the role, your CV and a few honest paragraphs on why you fit it. Where I know someone inside and your profile matches, I will make the introduction. Where I cannot, I will tell you why and point you at the route that does work. You get an answer either way.
Stuck on something specific?
Writing only gets you so far. If you want an answer to your situation rather than the general case, book a session and we will work through it together. Sessions are free for approved Sefism members, and a few slots open each week.
