After a short chat with the recruiter, I was asked to book a date and time for my first interview.

During the interview, we briefly discussed my skills, experience, expectations, and career goals. I was also told about the position, company, and benefits. After the interview, they assigned me a home task.

The home task involved creating a simple web app with a few screens. The requirements were clearly defined, however, there was room for creativity. Once my solution was approved, I was invited to the next stage – the technical screening.

During the screening, we primarily talked about JavaScript and its core concepts. I was challenged to solve a set of problems, as well as answer some technical questions essentially about JavaScript fundamentals. Shortly after that, I was invited to the technical interview.

The main focus of the technical interview was on React, architecture, testing, and development processes. I was challenged to add a small feature to my home-task app within a limited period. We also discussed a bunch of technical and non-technical aspects of software engineering. After a few hours, I received an email with an invite to the final interview. Before long, I also received an invite to the bar-raiser interview.

During the final interview, I had the chance to talk about my greatest achievements as a software engineer and explain technical decisions I made in the past. We discussed teamwork within the company, current challenges, and further goals. I also had the opportunity to ask all my questions about the position.

The bar-raiser interview followed right after the previous one. I was asked to explain some decisions I made during my career. Then, we deeply discussed a single project I had worked on in the past. At the end, the interviewer asked me a set of soft skills-related questions and answered my questions about the company culture.
