Software Engineer Interview Experience - Paris, France
Process
In brief, the technical interview was one of the best interviews I had.
The interview itself was great. The interviewer had clearly read my CV and personal website, and they were interested in learning more about me.
At the end of the interview, they asked about some basic JavaScript concepts and OOP. I admit I forgot how the event loop works. I suspect this is where I might have stumbled.
However, the communication with HR was frustrating. They kept me waiting and didn't provide straightforward responses. When I inquired about the technical interview results via email, they didn't respond directly. Instead, they scheduled a feedback call for the following day, during which they informed me of my rejection. Perhaps a rejection email would have sufficed; a call felt unnecessary.
Questions
JS:
What's the event loop? What's the difference between "==" and "==="? What's the difference between a Promise and an Observable?
OOP:
What's a singleton?
Others:
What's the message queue?

ContentSquare Work Experiences
- 3.0Good Perks, Bad CodeSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeBarcelona, SpainOctober 24, 2024Pros: Perks, salary is okay, colleagues in Barcelona, offices.Cons: Product, code quality. People are a bit pretentious and have airs of grandeur.
- 1.0Favoritism Over MeritocracySoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeMarch 29, 2023Pros: Exciting projects await, but only if you're fortunate enough to be placed in the right team. The reality is that your success at the company rests heavily on who you work with, rather than your own capabilities and merits.Cons: Company values are just lip service; they have no bearing on actual workplace culture. With a lack of flexibility and diversity, you'll never feel truly comfortable or secure. Don't even think about pursuing your own ideas or initiatives. Just blend in and do as you're told. Despite their empty promises of concern for employee well-being, management only truly cares about those with personal connections to the higher-ups. It's a facade, a smokescreen to improve their image to the outside world, but the truth is that they don't truly care about their employees.
