Front End Developer Interview Experience - Montreal, Canada
Process
Take-home test (Hackerrank, complete a React component) + 3 technical interviews (also React-based interviews, completing code in small React applications, basic things such as effects, defining props, some TS interfaces...). The developers interviewing were very nice and helpful during the process.
Cannot however recommend, since the process took very long (more than 2 months), and after giving 4h30 of my time, I received an automated rejection email.
I think they could have at least given me a call, minimum respect to a candidate giving their time...
