Senior Software Engineer (Frontend, JavaScript) Interview Experience - Madrid, Spain

In my cases, there were two practical stages.
The first was to fix some issues in a real project, like you would in a real scenario, interacting with Slack, GitHub comments, etc.
The second was more of a planning and high-level architecture for a feature.
Questions
There were some questions about security. These involved finding security issues in code and relating them to OWASP Top 10 security risks.
