2 rounds of interviews in total.
The 1st round interview was held by the future supervisor (one on one), who mainly asked my knowledge on the business and related technologies.
The 2nd round interview was held by 2 higher superiors, where I was asked higher level questions such as my past experience, working attitude, why leaving my previous company, etc. I was then introduced to the regional head of IT at the last 5 minutes.
This is an MNC and English is unavoidable, but it could be in Cantonese if both the interviewer and you are from Hong Kong. Interviewers are nice and willing to repeat the question if you don't hear clearly.
