Phone interview followed by onsite interview.
The procedure took few months to complete
Phone interview is general, mostly based on PhD thesis
Some standards knowledge is useful
Gave a presentation on phD thesis
You may receive questions during your talk, asking for further clarifications. Overall 30 mins presentation, 30 min Q and A. Suggest to make presentation simple and concise.
There was no one-on-one technical interview later on, except with HR.
HR asked basic behavioral questions, most of them can be found online.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Huawei Technologies (Markham, ON) in Jun 2026
Interview
the interview process basically have 4 rounds
- 2 technical interviews. The first round includes the coding assessment
- HR qualification interview
- Final interview.
I passed the first round and they moved me to the qualification round directly. The first interview lasts 1 hour. I started by telling about myself in 2-3 mins, then I had 30 mins to solve a coding problem. The problem is not hard. Next 10-15 minutes, I have a short presentation about the project that I am working on and answer some questions from them.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Huawei Technologies (Vancouver, BC)
