Converse using English and Mandarin. Interviewed as a fresh graduate. Interviewer briefed about the main responsibilities. Have to consider again if candidate does not come from mechanical background as it requires handling customer and provides technical assistance. This position requires standby 24/7 if necessary. Interviewer asked about your expected salary, your work experience, how you can contribute to the team.

Major communication issues. The interviewers were less than proficient in English and I had a majorly difficult time to understand the questions. The interview was very different from what I had been told to expect by the recruiter, in terms of the technologies, experience and the actual work involved. Once the interview was over, they did not let me leave the room, so that they could privately discuss the result with a senior manager based in China. I was unsurprisingly rejected by the senior Engineer, who I was told had been listening in on the interview without my knowledge. To be honest, it was one of the strangest experiences I have had. I doubt I would have accepted the role.
