Senior Frontend Developer Interview Experience

Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied online. The process took 5 days.

They contacted me via LinkedIn. Their job posting says "or equivalent experience" at the degree part. But just to be sure I asked the hiring manager if they really hire people without any university degree, and I also copy-pasted the job posting that says yes. Then the recruiter responded after a few days with a strong no. Not having a degree is an instant rejection, he said, and he rejected me. Anyway, as they already sent me their online test, just out of curiosity I had a look at it.

Questions

So basically, there were 5 coding tasks, and you had an overall 90 minutes to solve them. And I can tell that all the tasks require at least 60 minutes each to solve. I realised instantly how ridiculous this was. These tasks were represented as bug fixing, feature implementing, and other kinds of situations. You have a codebase, a description, and that's it—figure it out in 18 minutes.
