eBay sent me a job prospect for a new project. They were looking for a full-stack engineer with a nice tech stack.

They told me I only had to complete one exercise and one interview.

I did the exercise, which seemed easy for what they were asking. However, DURING the interview, they told me they needed something completely different. We're talking about a shift from a Senior React + Senior Node full-stack developer role to maintaining a 15+ year-old HTML site, with JavaScript pre-ES6, and front-end only.

They used a bait-and-switch strategy, wasted everyone's time, changed the interview time twice, and forgot to send the updated invitation.

The interview itself was one of the lousiest interviews of my life. They asked simple HTML markup questions to someone who had already completed the technical exercise and has over 10 years of web development experience.

Simple HTML markup questions, standard CSS questions, and some JS questions.
