The interview process consisted of two main stages:

• First Stage: Online Assessment

  • The assignment involved implementing a simple React.js application.

• Second Stage: Interview (3 hours)

  • The interview itself was divided into three 50-minute segments: Design, Behavioural, and Technical.

Design Stage: This stage was a negative experience. The interviewer was late and failed to discuss overall application design and architecture as expected. Instead, the questions focused solely on JavaScript and security. When I struggled or remained silent, the interviewer offered no assistance, merely staring at the screen or his phone. Requests for hints were ignored. Ten minutes before the end, I was asked to code a LeetCode medium question. I did not have enough time to solve it, and the interview concluded abruptly. This was the worst interviewer experience I have encountered.

Behavioural Stage: This stage involved numerous questions about soft skills.

Technical (Coding) Stage: The interviewer in this final stage was also highly unprofessional. When clarification was requested, they simply repeated the question without offering any hints. The task was to identify a simple palindrome string, but it seemed the interviewer lacked programming knowledge and was reading from a list, even being unfamiliar with how to call a function.

Overall Impression: The interview process was very poorly structured, and the interviewers appeared to lack knowledge in the topics they were discussing. None of the stages were enjoyable. I did not receive any feedback regarding the interview and was ghosted. Even if an offer were extended, I would decline it due to the company's disorganization.

Design:

• TS vs JS?
• How would you implement authentication and authorization (with credentials) and protect the usage using encryption algorithms? (He asked a lot about security)
• Is JS a compiled language?
• A lot of questions about CSR vs SSR (how websites are loaded in each, which is more optimized, which one to use and when).
• Code a function that prints all of the keys and values of the object in this manner: ["key1.val1", "key1.val2", "key1.key2.val1"] and etc. (i.e., stringify an object without JSON.stringify()).

Behavioural:

• If you had a conflict with a co-worker, how would you resolve it?
• If you were assigned a complex task by your manager, what would you do?
• Why VISA?
• Tell us about your most complex projects and/or school projects.
• What is the thing you value the most in a work environment?
• How do you overcome complex topics?
• What is your passion? What are your future goals?
• How do you gather feedback on your performance, individually or in a group?

Technical:

• Check if a string is a palindrome.
• What is debouncing? Code an example.
• How to optimize a website with React.js or vanilla JS?
• What is adaptive and responsive design?
• What are browser caching and HTTP caching? How are they different?
• What are Promises/async code?
