3months, very slow process, they are selective on candidates and slow on the respond reply so they take more than 3 months to the process. The interview process is very slow and pretty chinese culture
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How is your connections with the industry? What is your view of some thing?
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Futu (Shenzhen, Guangdong) in Jun 2022
Interview
3 rounds.
R1: resume deep dive. felt like they were fact-checking my CV lol. one medium algo at the end, code it live + explain complexity.
R2: real scenario. “build the frontend for X” — trade-offs, perf, state, edge cases.
R3: senior manager. barely any code. more like “how do you think.” cross-team stuff, tech decisions, lots of “why?” follow-ups.
I applied online. I interviewed at Futu (Hong Kong) in Mar 2026
Interview
HR call then about a week later invited to interview. Asked about my CV and experiences, as well as my availability as it is a part-time role. In-person interview, went smoothly but no offer
