Technical Behavioral
Wasted my time on this interview process. I went through two rounds. The interviewer seemed out of touch. Despite a good second interview, HR rejected me for supposedly skipping an assignment from the first round, which was never explicitly given to me. I mentioned this, but still got rejected. Why conduct a 1.5-hour second interview if this was the case? The interviewer was very junior, only about 5-6 months into the company.

Technical Coding Technical Behavioral
So, the interview for React and Node.js kinda starts with a recruiter chat to see if my background and skills are a good fit. After that, there’s a technical part where they test my React and Node.js skills, maybe with some coding challenges or a take-home task. Then, I had a technical interview with some engineers where we talked about React stuff like component lifecycles, hooks, and state management, and also Node.js topics like async programming and building APIs. The last part was a behavioral interview, basically to see if I’d fit in with the team and the company vibe, usually asking about my past projects and how I work with others.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
So for the UI/UX designer role, they usually start with looking at your CV and portfolio. Then there's a quick phone chat, followed by a design challenge or a take-home task. After that, you'll likely do a portfolio presentation. They also want to see how you handle technical interviews, if you fit the company culture, and have chats with the team to make sure you're a good match for their design needs and company values.
