Got referred by a friend of mine.

The HR reached out to me after a few weeks.

The interview process was alright. I was kind of disappointed, given what I read about frontend interviews in Razorpay, as my experience was entirely different.

The interviewer did seem interested in what I had to say and outright told me that he was quite impressed by my knowledge, although I couldn't answer a few questions. These were tricky JS questions.

Now, for the coding round, which contained medium-high difficulty JS questions and a medium-level Leetcode-style question. Everywhere, it was written that they don't focus on DSA, which was not fully correct.

Now, I answered these difficult questions correctly, yet the interviewer probably wanted me to solve it in his style, which was disappointing, as it seemed like he just memorized the answers and was expecting those exact methods of solving it.

Overall, it was a disappointing experience. I believe people who have posted their positive experience in blogs are really, really lucky. The margin for error is extremely low as the job market has become very competitive due to layoffs.

Q: Trick questions about Promises, setTimeout, and the event loop. Practice on BFE.dev is enough.

Q: Tricky puzzle questions about closures. Brush up on closures really well too. Again, BFE.dev is enough.

Q: Output of const { b = console.log("hey") } = { b: 2 };

Q: Implement array.flat().

Q: Return only strings in a flattened array without using an additional loop after flattening it. Basically, do the string check logic while flattening the array itself.

Q: Medium-level string question from LeetCode. No need to write code.
