Process
Recruiter call, then phone screen, and on-site interview. The questions were not difficult, but they did not extend an offer. This was because I am primarily a Front-End developer, and they sought a Full-Stack developer. They asked me to wait for other positions and interview again, but they ghosted me during the massive layoffs these past few months.
Questions
