I applied to Supermicro and didn’t hear back for almost two months before being invited to the first interview. The process stretched across four rounds: a 30-minute initial call, a two-hour second interview two weeks later, a one-hour third interview the following day, and finally an onsite two days after that.

The onsite was poorly managed. I was seated in a makeshift room where the janitor came in several times. The technical portion consisted of printed React code snippets and Node.js exceptions to identify, which felt more like a high school pop quiz than a professional interview.

My conversation with the manager focused only on day-to-day tasks, with no vision for long-term growth or development. The overall environment felt stagnant.

To make matters worse, the manager promised to follow up within two weeks but never did. The lack of organization, professionalism, and vision made the experience disappointing, and I would rate it a 3/10.

Entry-level JS questions: Node.js exceptions and what they mean, what can cause them.
