The process consisted of five interviews: two coding interviews, one cultural interview, one with the project manager, and one system-design interview.

In my case, I failed the first coding challenge. For the cultural interview and the one with the project manager, the feedback was that I didn’t talk enough about complex projects I had contributed to in the past. For the design-system interview, I honestly wasn’t very well prepared, so my answers were very ambiguous and lacked details about the actual architectural decisions.

The first code challenge was about matching different tags that a user could add in a multi-select list and unifying them if they belonged to the same group. I thought it required an inverted index, so I over-complicated the solution. A simpler approach using multiple loops would actually have been more effective.

The second challenge was about React and involved building a simple table, then progressively adding features like filters, sorting, etc.

For the cultural-type interviews, the questions were about previous projects and how I handled certain scenarios—for example, how I deal with situations where I disagree with my manager.

For the system-design interview, I was asked to design a dashboard that supports multiple widgets.
