Huawei Technologies Research Engineer interview questions

Two people interviews you over basic programming and data mining projects. Questions go from very easy to very hard. If you can answer couple of very easy questions well you are good to go.

I am a foreign employee, hired for a position in China. So the process I describe is specific to this situation. I had 4 phone interviews: - First interview: with the research team manager and an engineer from this team. Questions were focused on my background, especially related to the technologies I developed during my PhD. There were also private questions such as why I want to move to China, do you I have relatives there, do you speak chinese, etc. And I was asked for my salary expectation. - Second interview: with the target department director, who asked similar questions (I am afraid I don't remember exactly). - Third interview: with another research department director, who asked mostly technical questions. - Fourth interview: with the HR, but it was actually a call to tell me that I passed all previous interviews, and give me the official salary offer. I could not negotiate at this point, so be careful to mention your salary expectations early in the process. Then I asked a bunch of question to the HR, as that was my first abroad job experience, and also to check the advantages I could get (honestly almost none). The 4 interviews were on my mobile phone in France, and the sound quality was terrible. I advise to ask a Skype interview instead, for people who are hired in the same process.
