Among other things, this is exactly my experience. I was invited to virtual on-site interview earlier this year due to covid19. After the 3rd round, I was told to wait there and the next interviewer would come online soon. Two hours passed, no one showed up. That was it. No response or whatever ever since. And btw, no one communicated with me beforehand what the interview would look like. I asked the headhunter but they had no idea either.

It was really weird interview experience. They gave me the impression that they're really a group of "elite" engineers. It's a general SWE (not quant) interview but they asked quite a bit of mathematics and statistics questions. At some point I can feel arrogance from one of the interviewers.

To all the people think "共匪" is hate speech, what do you think we should do with such a group that killed millions? Go check the history of CCP. Calling them "共匪" is a gross understatement.
