I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Didi Chuxing in May 2025
Interview
I submitted my application online, and after about 1 week, I was contacted by a recruiter for an online interview. There were 3 rounds of interview, which lasted about one month. Fortunately I pasted all interviews. The recruiter asked me to submit the salary proof of my previous job, and accidentally the recruiter told me there was no headcount any more! Are u kidding me ?! This bad experience wasted nearly two months of my time. 👎👎👎
