Behavioral Technical Coding
So first, I had this interview with the Tech Lead who reached out to me. Then there was this other interview, they called it the DNA interview, which is basically to see if you're generally capable, covering your tech background, experience, and the projects you've done. After that, I had to do a Technical Challenge. The last step was a Technical Interview where you basically 'defend' the software you created. They ghosted me after telling me I was qualified in that final interview.

Behavioral Technical Coding
I had a first interview with someone from HR, who explained the process and everything. Then a week later, I had an interview with 2 people from the tech team, who evaluated my frontend skills. It was a role with React and JavaScript, so they asked me questions about some concepts and 2 pretty simple technical exercises.
Confirmed questions2 questions
- Tell us about your JavaScript experience: what is the event loop, what are closures, etc.
- React: What are the component lifecycles, what are useMemo and useCallback for, etc.

The process starts with a HackerRank test, which has two parts: a programming test focusing on FrontEnd skills and a multiple-choice section. Next, there's a 30-45 minute phone/video call to discuss the role and verify information. Following that is a virtual Assessment Center where you'll interact with other potential Bootcamp participants and have a technical discussion with a leader. Finally, there's a Reference Check for work history and academic credentials.
