The process was well-structured and professional. It included:

Initial Screening:

A recruiter reached out and gave a clear overview of the role, expectations, and timeline. It was a friendly and informative conversation.

Technical Round:

The interviewer asked practical frontend problems — mostly related to JavaScript, browser rendering (reflow/repaint), performance, and real-world DOM behavior. The discussion was interactive and went beyond syntax to see how you think and reason about performance trade-offs. I appreciated the deep-dive into concepts like React’s virtual DOM vs. real DOM.

System/Architecture Design Round:

Involved discussing state management and component-level design in frontend apps. The feedback was constructive and helped me reflect on areas to improve further — especially around organizing technical thoughts clearly.

Feedback:

Although I didn’t make it to the final stage, I received thoughtful feedback that focused on fundamentals and performance principles, which I found genuinely helpful.
