Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Very fast.

15-minute call
Live coding session

The live coding session was after 4 p.m. I experienced a lot of noise from their office.

The interviewers said my responses were not good, but they weren't able to solve the problems either. The third problem they presented was wrong.

In the first call, I spoke with someone who seemed to be on their first day of work. I have used Typeform in the past and thought it was a good place to work.

Questions

Practical test:

JavaScript object contexts, apply-bind.
FizzBuzz (Remember 5 * 3 % == 0).
JavaScript Promises.

Room for improvement

Node.js Developer • Former Employee

Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain

November 22, 2016

Pros: Cool people and a good environment, with good technical people working there. Small and evolving teams provide visibility into what the company is doing and developing. Every two weeks, there are internal meetings to showcase company development, which is cool.

Cons: Do not trust people when they are hired. There is too much old stuff to support and a difficult initial development deployment. Management is not technical and they trust a completely external resource, which is/was PHP-minded. I was hired by an external hiring company, and in three weeks, they hired another developer in-house and fired me, without a chance to do anything for the company.

Complete lack of direction and bad work culture

Software Engineer • Former Employee

Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain

August 14, 2019

Pros: Great co-workers, smart and nice people. Barception. Lunch.

Cons: Really disappointed with the lack of professionalism from the leadership team and founders. Lack of recognition for hard work, bad feedback, and performance assessments (actually, inexistent). The new people coming into leadership (including the CEO) value more that you agree with them than actually having ideas and that you are doing your job well. The paths to professional growth are completely broken, so if you care about your career and growth, this is not the place. Really shady moves to let people go or fire them.
