Javascript Developer Interview Experience - Stockholm, Sweden
Process
Initial recruiter call, abstract, and reasoning test.
I did not really understand their aim with this, as I completed it in a good way and got rejected for a generic reason. But then again, I looked at the company going downhill.
Also, the recruiter rebooked me for a second interview for a different position and joined 10 minutes late to tell me, "Sorry, you need to wait 6 months! You ain't Google, fellas! Stop acting like it!"
Questions
Some questions about the background, and then some algorithms on an online platform with reasoning.
