Is it a hard target for Alibaba to recruit R&D engineers?

Hello, questioner. I'm glad to answer your question. I hope my answer is helpful to you.

I am a former employee of Alibaba, and I have been in sales for 1 year. As for whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway, hehe.

When I applied for the sales position at that time, there were two rounds of interviews, a preliminary test and a second test. In big internet companies, this is probably the interview process. As a software development engineer, technology and education account for a heavier score. Generally speaking, applying for Alibaba software engineer requires high experience, especially whether the interviewer has operated successful projects before and won some awards. After all, the interview of software engineers is not like sales. As a salesperson, you can learn slowly, but software engineers urgently need to complete tasks and make practical achievements in a short time. Therefore, Alibaba's recruitment of software engineers has high requirements for strength, experience and technology.

As far as I know, Alibaba's corporate culture, they do not stick to one pattern in employing people. As far as sales are concerned, many people think that you can't enter a big enterprise like Alibaba without a high degree. I used to think so, but it wasn't. People who come to work in Alibaba have worked as waiters, producers and managers, and their education ranges from primary school, junior high school, senior high school, junior college to famous non-famous universities. In this respect, Alibaba is still better. If you are outstanding in a certain aspect of software development and show your strength, you may be hired as an exception. This is what you really consider, not just a paper degree.

Finally, the digression. A person, after the interview, will probably lose his job if he always passively waits for the company to call him to go to work. I remember that quite a few people in Alibaba were rejected for several interviews, but she simply wanted to enter the company and was rejected by Alibaba. She came to me again and recommended herself until she had a dozen interviews. This is a fact, and it did happen in Alibaba. Speaking of which, it depends on whether you really want to enter this enterprise. If there is, it will definitely enter. As for how to do it, I have already said it above.

Besides, good luck.
