Technical Coding Presentation
The interview process involved a technical interview focused on debugging ReactJS code, followed by an interview with the managers. Then there was a guest lecture about functions. The whole thing was pretty straightforward and not stressful at all. I'd totally recommend doing the technical interview, it's a good challenge.

Coding
I had a quick call with the recruiter, and then they sent me a take-home coding challenge. I did it and sent it back pretty quickly, but honestly, I never heard anything back about it. I tried emailing them a few times over the course of a month, but still no reply. I was just hoping for some kind of response, you know, like if they were still looking at it, or if they decided not to move forward with me. Something. I actually spent some time away from my actual job to do this coding exercise, so I felt like I deserved at least some feedback.
Confirmed questions1 question
- A coding assignment to be completed at home was given.
