Process
The interview process began with a 30-minute screening with the recruiter, followed by a 1-hour technical interview with a senior software engineer.
The technical interview included a few questions about React and CSS.
I was declined three business days later via a canned email.
I replied to the recruiter asking for specific feedback from the interviewer but did not receive a response.
