Senior Front End Developer Interview Experience - Dublin, Leinster
Process
I applied online. After a few days, I got a reply from the hiring manager about my application and was given a link for an online form with some open-ended questions. I submitted the application. The next day, I got a rejection message.
I didn't get any feedback, but judging from the other responses here, I won't get any even if I ask, so I'm not going to bother.
Pity; they could be missing some great candidates. By the time they fill their organization chart, which is full of open roles by the way, they will get lots of negative reviews. I won't be recommending them to anyone yet.
Advice to rejected candidates
- Move on and don't waste your time.
Questions
I was asked to answer some open-ended questions.
