Behavioral Coding
The interview process was pretty smooth overall. Started with a screening interview, and then I had a code challenge assessment. That code challenge was tough, though. It basically required building a full project from the ground up, including list and detail pages. For the list page specifically, they wanted infinite scrolling and virtualization, plus routes, responsiveness, styling, and all that. It was actually kind of fun to work on, but it was definitely hard to get done.

Technical Coding Behavioral
The interview experience was pretty standard. It felt like they cared more about theoretical knowledge than practical skills for the actual job. I was asked about JS reactivity, the event loop, and Big O notation. I talked about data structures like hash tables, linked lists, and trees. They seemed a bit surprised and threw in some unexpected questions, like asking me to explain how the JavaScript event loop works and how garbage collection functions. I also explained how to update indexedDB. I got rejected because I admitted I wasn't super deep into garbage collection details, although I did try to explain my idea about dependency graphs for unloading functions. They disagreed, saying it's more about tracking references, not just call counts. Apparently, the main reason for rejection was that they wanted someone with a deeper JavaScript understanding than I showed, even though I've been using it professionally for nine years. One interviewer was also surprised when I mentioned other WebGL formats like .glb and .gltf, acting like I was making them up.

Behavioral Technical
I had an interview with a recruiter who also does HR admin stuff. She was great - friendly but professional, and she told me about the company, the role, and what to expect. It wasn't a typical recruiter interview, and I really liked it because it felt like they wanted me as much as I wanted the job. I also enjoyed hearing the story of how Picsart was founded. The technical interviews were standard but pleasant, and the onboarding process was smooth, thanks in part to the recruiter who also managed it.
