Process
I had one interview, which was pretty straightforward.
It included coding questions, design questions, and a resume deep dive.
I had three interviewers, and they were asking questions one after the other. It felt like a firing round.
Questions
Questions around React, including Redux and hooks.
Just some basic knowledge.
