Tech Recruiter, who contacted me and claimed to be employed at Miro (which is why I responded). Easy-going 30 minutes, very good progress.
Time: 60 minutes.
Very brief introductions from both sides (2 software developers and myself). I was interrupted with the remark that there wasn't enough time. The introductions from both sides lasted approximately 5 minutes in total.
Then a rapid introduction to the tools, followed by the task in HackerRank.
The task description was a joke, a single sentence, about 8 words long... Unclear and not understandable at all.
I was supposed to describe the problem-solving approach using the Miro board. I could not scroll the board in my browser. When I pointed this out, I was told that the visible area would have to suffice.
I had to ask multiple times what was meant, as the task description was very poor. This led to the two interviewers feeling compelled to reveal the solution.
At the end, I sketched out the approach on the board. Afterward, I was told I had exactly 14 minutes left to implement the whole thing.
14 minutes, doable! So, I started typing, explaining what I was doing as best as I could. After about 10 minutes, one of them said they couldn't follow me, it was going too fast. So, a brief explanation (2 minutes) of what I was doing, and they said "okay." Then I implemented two parts to the end; I was not allowed to press RUN anymore, as time was up!
With the remark that my solution was incorrect, the coding session was over. There were still about 2 minutes left, which I was allowed to use for my questions.
Screening: Multiple questions about TechStack, etc. As mentioned, it was easy.
Coding Session: No technical questions were asked. The task was written in a completely incomprehensible and trivially unmotivated manner, as mentioned, one sentence, approximately 8 words long.
