I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Hulu (Beijing, Beijing) in May 2016
Interview
The interview was scheduled for one hour and the interviewer was very nice. He first asked me to introduce myself and one previous project. Then was the coding part. The first question was about receiving network fragments. Actually, the stem was not very clear and it took me quite a time to figure the related definitions out. With several hints, I implemented it, but not the best way. The second question was about binary search. I was very nervous at that moment and the time was nearly up. So I didn't finish it. Anyway, I learned something from this interview experience.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Find the lower bound of a given number in a sorted array.
Simple process overall, recruiters are very old-school from a tech perspective. Typical flow of behavioral, followed by some paired programming interviews. I had no reference. A lot of emphasis on work culture, but offered salary came up lackluster overall.
