HR screening clear and then 2 technical rounds. I never had such dull and one way interview in my 12 years of career. There was a masside disintrust shown to me by the interviewer because I belong to a different ethnicity. Image you are on a call and the interviewer avoids introductions. I seriously question their hiring habbits based on existing panel. There was a huge not small huge linguistic differences. Despite the communication hurdles, I made every effort to provide clear and concise responses to the questions asked. However, I am concerned that some of my responses might not have been fully understood due to the communication difficulties. I even suggested interviewer to type his questions on chat. The programming task typically necessitates a two-way discussion but since we both have different hold of the language I was forming questions for him that i was suppose to answer. Overall i feel like i dodged a bullet. This might be good for individuals who knows Mandarin. But again, your HQ are in San Jose and I feel English should be bare minimum requirement
