Frontend Software Engineer Interview Experience - Switzerland

Process

The process was organized, and the team seemed professional at first. However, the actual interviews were disappointing.

Despite clear documentation stating the focus would be on TypeScript/React, code composition, patterns, and testing, none of these areas were properly assessed. Instead, I was given a generic algorithmic exercise, similar to those on LeetCode, which felt irrelevant to the role.

This mismatch left me feeling frustrated and misled, as I had prepared for the skills the company claimed to value. The lack of transparency undermined what could have been a strong candidate experience.
