Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

The interviewers are nice through the process. Love the guess word question, and even though I ended up not solving it, it is interesting and I suddenly figured out a much simpler way after completing the interview :(

But the React interview question (form generation question) is poorly described and poorly explained. There is even a mistake in the description. No one is using the described way to generate a form. The only intent by passing a nonsense callback in the state is to make the problem "trickier". The interviewer is only interested in their way to progress the problem. The company should do a better way to tune the process for the React question.

Questions
