There was a bit of a language barrier. It was hard to ask clarifying questions, they answered with "yes" or "no" answers when I asked them things like "What do you like most about working here" they responded "Yes I like working here" and offered zero help during the interview other than "you are wrong on this one". Seemed to only care about the most optimal solution. Interviewer was polite but if you're not international Chinese I would not recommend due to language and cultural barrier made it difficult to work with. I'm ABC btw
