Kuai Technology reported on July 7 that according to media reports, yesterday, former Huawei genius Li Bojie publicly complained about DeepSeek’s interview process on social platforms. He mentioned that the interview process was slow and cumbersome, and that the interviewer had attitude problems and questioned him about plagiarism, and he felt "seriously offended." According to Li Bojie's own statement, after passing the written examination, DeepSeek delayed arranging an interview, which took half a month. I had already received offers from other companies, and after repeated urging, I was finally scheduled for an interview. During the second interview, the interviewer was not only late, but also had a frivolous attitude. He had no idea about the work he introduced. He thought that the questions he talked about were only research problems, and kept asking about any engineering challenges. What offended him the most was when the interviewer questioned him about "copying code." He said: "Because there were two screens in the code interview, the interviewer said that I kept glancing at the left screen and that I was copying code. He asked me to stop copying code and said that if I could not prove that I was not copying code, the interview could not continue." Li Bojie chose to terminate the interview and believed that the interviewer's performance was different from what he imagined DeepSeek. Public information shows that Li Bojie holds a PhD in computer science from the University of Science and Technology of China and was one of the first batch of Huawei’s “Genius Youth” program candidates. His personal website introduction shows that he has published many papers at top conferences such as SIGCOMM SOSP, NSDI, ATC, PLDI, etc., and has won the ACM China Outstanding Doctoral Thesis Award and the "Microsoft Scholar" scholarship. Currently, he is engaged in large-scale model entrepreneurship and is the chief scientist of Pine AI. It is understood that starting from June 25, DeepSeek has launched the largest recruitment in the company's history. The recruitment positions cover 7 categories including algorithms, R&D, operation and maintenance, products, data engineers and functional departments. A total of 33 positions are open. The work locations include Beijing and Hangzhou, and all positions accept internships. DeepSeek stated that it is "working hard to at least double the size of all departments" and promises to let new people directly participate in the core and most important tasks, hoping that employees can quickly grow into top talents in the industry.
