I applied online. The process took 2 weeks.
I had a phone interview initially, followed by a whiteboard interview that involved assessing my understanding of APIs, but with a stronger focus on task organization and handling large requirements. Although I applied as a developer, it seemed like the company was interested in assessing my skills in organizing work effectively. During the interview, I had two interviewers, and unfortunately, one of them displayed an undesired attitude by yawning multiple times. Additionally, there was a lack of clear guidance regarding the task at hand. The interviewer simply stated that they wanted a particular implementation and asked me to organize and implement it while sharing my screen. This approach was unfamiliar to me, and I found it confusing. Consequently, I asked several questions throughout the interview to seek clarification. Interestingly, one of the interviewers demonstrated good technical knowledge, but the other did not inquire about any technical aspects. She or he clearly mentioned you do not need to implement all features in 1 hour, but the feedback from the interview was that I did not implement all. Really? Overall, the interview process was subpar due to the absence of proper task explanation and the attitude of one of the interviewers.
The customer wants this. Organize the tasks and implement it.
