I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Coates Group (Guangzhou, Guangdong) in Jan 2025
Interview
I discussed general first-round questions with HR, including motivation, goals, etc. However, they did not move forward because they expected a candidate to join ASAP and be required for an in-person technical interview in Guangzhou, China. However, I am in the USA now, so such expectations are unreasonable.

Question 1
What is your motive to work in China instead of the United States?
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Coates Group (Tokyo) in Mar 2023
Interview
There was several stages: 1) interview with P&C Bussines Partner and Developing Team Manager 2) coding assignment 3) technical interview 4) final interview with P&C Director, Manager and Market Director I successefully passed all stages. Whole process took ~1 month, and another month was just waiting for feedback + salary negotiation. At the end recruiter told me that they hired candidate who calimed for less than the bottom bar of initial salary range (10% lower). I couldn't go that low, so basically it was waste of time for me.
