I applied through an employee referral. The process took one week.
I went through a four-stage interview process: two cultural interviews and two technical ones—a home assessment and a discussion about a previous project. I passed all four stages but was ultimately rejected due to unclear answers to some follow-up questions. When I asked for clarification, I received a list of those follow-up questions. However, only two of them were technically follow-ups, and one was more related to UX than front-end engineering. During the interview, I intentionally gave concise answers to allow the interviewers to ask further follow-ups and guide the conversation in their desired direction since the questions were quite open-ended. Despite this, I didn't receive any follow-ups, making the interview feel unusual. It seemed like I was possibly ghosted due to some internal issue. I reached out to the recruiter to ask about the cooldown period before I could apply for a similar position but never received a response—despite having invested significant time in the interview process.
The process was a home assessment, and then a presentation of your solution. Afterward, there was a demo of your previous project.
