• Chat with the team leader about work organization and software best practices.
• Live coding session with two software engineers, covering three questions:
  • Logic of a React application
  • CSS styling

After the live coding, I was congratulated on its success and asked for references to proceed with an offer. However, a few days later, I was contacted again stating that the live coding was not actually successful and I would not receive an offer.

The recruiter emphasized that the most important aspects of the interview were demonstrating collaboration, receptiveness to feedback, and adherence to Test-Driven Development (TDD). The engineers advised me not to worry about completing all three questions but instead to focus on listening to their feedback and solving the problems appropriately.

I received some vague oral feedback from the recruiter, stating that I failed because I appeared unsure about React's functionality, requiring me to search for information during the live coding session. Additionally, I did not complete all three exercises.

I can only assume that a better or more cost-effective candidate emerged later. Regardless, it was highly unprofessional to be informed that I had passed the interview and would receive an offer, only to have that statement withdrawn.

In general, the interview process exhibited signs of disorganization. Some of my questions regarding the role remained unanswered, and I was contacted about the same matters by multiple individuals who seemed unaware of each other's communications.
