Process
The weirdest interview I had.
First round was a one-hour interview with several people. I was asked a mixture of general JavaScript and Node.js questions, along with some easy coding questions.
Next, I met with a manager who basically said my experience did not match their needs and that he had no idea why I was selected for his review. That was the end of it.
