I applied online. The process took 4 weeks.

I went through 3 of the 5 stages of the interview with Quantexa. Throughout the process, I was kept well informed by the hiring manager on what to expect. Equally, they were friendly and professional throughout, giving me honest and constructive feedback.

The initial stage involved a short screening call with the hiring manager discussing my experience and the company. The second stage was with a senior front-end engineer where I was asked about my experience in more detail and given a technical challenge to work on. This was an algorithmic challenge completed live while screen sharing. The interviewer was helpful in guiding me without giving away the answer, and gave me an opportunity to discuss alternative approaches. The next stage was a take-home technical challenge. I found this challenging, likely because I was applying for a role at the upper limit of my experience level. The brief was clear, gave examples of what was expected, and set expectations on how long to spend on the challenge. After completing the challenge, I was informed that my application wouldn't be taken further. I was offered further feedback and on requesting this was given detailed and constructive feedback on my solution.

Ultimately, although I wasn't successful, I learnt a lot from the process and felt I'd gained something valuable. It was usually about a week between each stage of the process. Altogether, I felt the process was well thought out and suitably demanding for this type of role.

Do you have experience working with Angular or another frontend framework?
