I went through an interview loop for their platform engineering team.

The technical depth that the interview went was not very deep. They were asking me questions about how I would replace a CPU in a server. Physical server. The whole interview was just one person after another asking basic questions, and then they said they wanted to extend me an offer. Not a very competitive one at that.

Culture also seems like an issue, as you have to use their internal translation apps to talk to mainland coworkers and I didn't get a good vibe about general skill on staff. And that is before the fact that it's China.

I wouldn't have taken the job even if they weren't chineese linked. It did not sound like a great environment to work in, nor one where you could shine.
