Lenovo\'s Autumn Campus Recruitment Officially Conducts Front-end Interviews

I want to express my gratitude to any company that gave me the opportunity to interview, and I want to thank Lenovo. I submitted my resume around noon on 2022.08.06 and got a referral from a friend for a position in Tianjin. The written test was scheduled for 2022.08.08 23:00, and of course, the test time was flexible, so I decided to do it after work and completed it.

First Interview

After nearly a month of waiting, I finally got the chance to interview. I scheduled the interview for around 14:00 on 2022.08.31 and actually had the interview on 2022.09.05 10:30. I arrived five minutes early, and the interview experience was very pleasant. The interviewer started by introducing the department, which was the first time I had encountered such treatment after so many interviews. The entire interview lasted about 30 minutes.

  • What technology stack did you mainly use during your internship?
  • What was your main responsibility during your internship at Tencent?
  • How did you complete unit testing?
  • Describe the general development process and communication.
  • How did you implement the live broadcasting feature and what optimizations did you make?
  • How did you balance compatibility and performance?
  • How did you optimize the initial page loading?
  • What was your strategy for splitting page chunks?
  • What's the difference between splitting the basic library via CDN and fully packaged deployment via CDN?
  • How did you fully utilize caching strategies?
  • Did you develop this mini-program completely on your own?
  • What was your biggest gain while working on this mini-program?
  • What differences did you notice when using TypeScript compared to JavaScript?
  • Briefly explain how Vue and React work.
  • The process of refreshing the view through data in Vue and React.
  • Future development directions and plans.

The interview experience was really good; the interviewer was punctual and began with self-introduction and business overview. This was a kind of treatment I had never experienced in previous interviews. Moreover, at the end, the interviewer spent at least five minutes discussing Lenovo's internal business. During the follow-up questions, I also asked about some of the business-related aspects mentioned by the interviewer. Overall, the interview experience was really positive, and my recent interview experiences have been quite good. Each one had its own unique features, haha.

Second Interview

The second interview was scheduled for around 17:12 on 2022.09.15. It was directly scheduled via email for a fixed time, and the actual interview was set for 2022.09.20 16:00. This time, a lady conducted the interview, and it lasted approximately 28 minutes. I have to say, Lenovo's interview experience is really good. However, there was a bit of awkwardness when the email suggested 14:00, but the Teams meeting was being scheduled for 16:00. I had to send an email to clarify, hahaha. Additionally, I had some issues with my internet connection and had to switch to mobile data after getting disconnected three times during the interview.

  • What are your plans for the next three to five years?
  • What are some of the recent projects you've worked on?
  • What motivated you to develop this mini-program?
  • Did you handle the front-end, back-end, and cloud server deployment all by yourself?
  • Which project left the deepest impression on you and why?
  • What led you to work on this project?
  • How do you view collaboration and completing projects together?
  • What are your plans for the development of your interested technical areas?
  • Your understanding of agile development.
  • Which internship experience was more fulfilling for you?
  • Your impression of Lenovo.
  • Some important points to consider when choosing a company base location.

The Lenovo interview experience was really good. We chatted with a lot of smiles throughout. During the follow-up questions, I first asked if the department would be determined by HR later and then inquired about some business-related aspects. After that, we delved into a long discussion about Lenovo's platform business, as well as exchanged views on some of the business aspects that I am particularly interested in. In conclusion, the interview experience was really great.

Follow-up

I didn't pass, hahaha. On 2022.09.21 14:42, I received a thank-you letter. Although the interview experience at Lenovo was great, I didn't make it to the next stage, which is quite normal. After all, given the situation this year, I've gotten used to being rejected. Nonetheless, I am very grateful for the interview opportunity provided by Lenovo, and I truly had a good interview experience.
