Interview Process:
Application Submission:
I submitted my application and waited for a call that took forever.
First Round:
A warm-up with a debounce function, basic array questions, and a React question to fetch data. Just your everyday brain teaser. This round happened without me having to call and remind them of my existence.
Second Round:
Design an input field system, they said. Basic introductions, they said. This was the calm before the storm.
Third Round:
The Hiring Manager asked some basic STAR-based questions. Easy-peasy, except for the part where I had to call and check if I was still in the running.
The Dreaded Follow-Ups:
And then, the real game began. I waited 12 days without a peep from them. Naturally, I had to play detective and call them for updates. Every. Single. Time.
Fourth Round:
Surprise! The Hiring Manager remembered they had more questions. This time, they asked what I would do if a bug needed fixing while I was on leave. Of course, I’d love to handle work issues on my day off.
Work Schedule:
They claim it’s a 5-day workweek. I can only imagine what surprises the actual workdays hold.
Overall:
The whole process took a month, mostly spent chasing after them. If you enjoy reminding a company that you exist and love handling bugs on your days off, this is the perfect place for you!
Round 1:
Basic Array Question (No Need to Worry) Follow-up: Writing a polyfill on an array.

Input Field with Custom Properties.
