I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at AKQA (Shanghai, Shanghai) in Nov 2020
Interview
Very casual interview and had a good impression of the company. But then they simply ignored multiple efforts at correspondence and gave no feedback. How a company treats potential candidates reflects on how much they respect their employees as well. Lacks professionalism in their process
Technical interview, White boarding, unit testing, DevOps Questions, programming at a computer with a fixed problem. Second interview with HR, more cultural questions, asked about teams you have worked with.
