Process
The first stage of the interviews was an online assessment. The next step is a technical screen with a developer.
The online assessment was React-based (though other options were available), and the subsequent one will focus on Data Structures and Algorithms (DS&A).
Questions
React-based online assessment, pretty straightforward.
