I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Hulu (Beijing, Beijing) in Oct 2013
Interview
First one phone interview, one algorithm problem and write code online.
Then 3 onsite interviews in an afternoon, mostly algorithm and coding problems.
Then another interview with the manager, mainly talked about project experience, expectation in hulu and plan for future.
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.
