It was a 1:1 with the team lead. We did a resume review and they asked me to implement a basic class. I think you really have to know your stuff to pass this one. The interviewer questioned my every decision, making sure I understood the pros and cons of my choices. They were pretty nice though, cracking jokes during the interview. But seriously, you need to know what you're doing.

The first step was a one-way interview, asking things like "Why BMO?", "Tell me about a project you did.", and a situational question about handling a problem in a specific team. If you passed that, the next stage would have been a call with a recruiter or manager, followed by a potential second interview with team members.

First I got a call from a recruiter, then they sent me to a tech recruiter. The tech recruiter didn't have his camera on and I could hear a lot of background noise like kids playing and traffic, it sounded like he was really far away. I had trouble hearing and understanding him. When I asked him to repeat himself, he got annoyed. It felt really unprofessional. He asked me a bunch of strange questions, like first if I had experience in Node.js, and when I said yes, he then asked if I had experience in JavaScript, which confused me a bit.
Confirmed questions3 questions
- Tell me about your experience with Node.js.
- Do you know JavaScript?
