Process

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!
