Front End Developer Interview Experience - Netherlands

Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Revolut found me via a "companies apply to your profile" hiring platform. (I'm not sure if Glassdoor allows me to say the exact name; it was Hired.com).

The first step was a video interview with the company recruiter. These were typical non-technical questions, nothing out of the ordinary.

The second step was a "write React app" home assignment. From the description, I saw that it was a long one and would take me somewhere between 7 to 15 hours to finish. I was very reluctant to do it, because as a candidate, you can pour hours and hours into a project and be rejected with nothing more than an automatic email template. Then, you have nobody to blame but yourself for wasting so much time. However, I did the assignment anyway and passed it.

The third step was a video interview with two Front-End Developers from the company. They gave me a code-sharing link, and a long list of questions was presented in the style of "What will be printed in the JavaScript console?" By themselves, such questions are not inherently bad and can help assess a candidate's knowledge. However, in this case, the entire one-and-a-half-hour interview consisted of going through this list, line by line. After about one-third of the list, I felt extremely stressed and unsure of everything. At that point, if there had been a question asking the result of 2+2, how people call the first meal of the day, or what time of year it is right now, I doubt I would have been able to answer any of these basic questions with confidence.

I received a rejection email a couple of days later.

Questions

Explain what will be printed in the console. (JavaScript "not what you expect" style of questions)
