Front End Developer Interview Experience - Israel

Process

I applied through LinkedIn and received an email requesting a follow-up phone call.

After three or four days, someone from HR contacted me. We spoke for about 20 minutes about my experience and knowledge in different technologies, as well as my willingness to relocate to Amsterdam.

At the end, she said she would like to send me a task to perform and return the solution.

It was pretty basic: getting a JavaScript array, sorting it, and displaying it in HTML. Clicking on a link would retrieve more info from the array.

I received an answer a day later stating it was great and they would like to schedule a technical interview with two developers.

The interview started with questions about my background and quickly moved to technical questions; it took about 40 minutes.

I was also required to give suggestions on how I thought their site could be improved.

They provided zero feedback about my answers and were pretty robotic.

Sadly, I received a negative response two days later.

If someone had bothered to write down more questions that were asked, maybe I could have prepared better!
