I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Huawei Technologies in Aug 2025
Interview
After sending my cv to a hiring manager, I had a technical interview with a team spread across several countries. The technical interview got ok, 1 hour long, hard but in a more questions-answers, no online coding.
Some redflags came after the first round, when I received a call telling me to connect to a link in 10 min. However, I was not home. On the next day, I talked to this HR lady. However, she arrived 15 min late, did no speak English and was using some translators. Moreover, she did not know the countries and was all the time openly hostile to me.
The last round was with a Chinese person responsible for the center. General behavioral questions.
I received a kinda verbal offer and they told me to wait one month. After 4 months they never came back to me officially. I've just got ghosted. Besides, some workers of the project came to me telling me to apply to some additional documentation, so a third-party company that belongs to Huawei could hire me instead.
The whole process was very strange.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Have you ever build a network communication library?
two interviews; in the first interview, they asked CV-related questions; in the second, it was behavioral and asked for cultural fit. The second interview was with the Chinese manager, and it was a one-to-one interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The company requires long working hours. How do you feel about this?
It went smooth, 2 OA, 1 HR Call, 1 Technical Call, 1 Manager Call. All went well, they ask based on your title and field. SO get prepared for what you are applying for like which position you know.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Huawei Technologies (Düsseldorf)
Interview
Getting an invitation for a phone interview was very unexpected for me given that my CV is not linear. The interviewer was incredibly disrespectful. I was shocked about how aggressively she talked to me. I have never experienced something like that. She was treating me like I did something wrong or like she was trying to set me up for failure? She said to me if the interview goes well you will hear from us otherwise you won’t. So not even a rejection mail.
