Process
I applied online. The process took 1 day.
The interview consisted of two rounds of questions:
- The first round was a series of questions focusing on JavaScript specifics, designed to test your specific knowledge of JavaScript. The questions here were not too difficult.
- The second round was a standard LeetCode-style interview with LeetCode medium questions.
Questions
What is the useEffect hook in JavaScript, and what is its purpose?
Was this helpful?
