Process

Interview Experience – Frontend / JavaScript Role. I applied through the normal application process and was contacted by a recruiter for an initial screening. After passing the screening, I was scheduled for the first technical round with a technical recruiter. The interview was 60 minutes long and divided into two parts:

  • Part 1 (≈20 minutes): Verbal technical questions focused on JavaScript fundamentals and core web concepts to assess foundational knowledge.
  • Part 2 (≈40 minutes): Three practical questions. A small object-oriented JavaScript code snippet where I had to explain the output and suggest fixes/improvements. A basic data structures question involving arrays. A simple UI implementation task where I was given a visual mockup of a "friend request" container (name, title, accept/reject buttons) and asked to recreate it using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.No complex logic was required; it was mainly to assess basic UI skills. I felt I performed very well and completed all parts successfully. However, I received a rejection afterward with no detailed feedback. It’s unclear what additional criteria were used in the decision. Overall, the recruiter provided clear instructions and preparation materials before the interview, which was helpful. Tip for candidates: Be comfortable with JavaScript fundamentals, object-oriented concepts, basic array manipulation, and simple HTML/CSS layout tasks. Good luck to future candidates!
