The interview was pretty standard, the vibe was chill and not stressful at all. It gave me space to really think and talk about my background without feeling rushed. I felt pretty good about how I handled the chat with the person on the panel.

Behavioral Technical

After making it to the final round, I had an on-site interview with two people. The discussion and questions felt disorganized, and it seemed like they were exhausted from interviewing. Up until this point, the communication, coordination, and web interviews were positive. At the end of the on-site interview, the HR Director said they'd make a quick hiring decision and that I could expect an update the following week. However, I didn't receive any update that week, and despite following up with the HR rep twice, I was ghosted. When you reach the final round and invest half your day in an on-site interview, the least Quest could do is inform candidates if they weren't selected. I've read interview reviews with similar negative experiences, and I won't waste any more of my time pursuing opportunities with this company.

It was a 2 round interview process. The first round was a technical interview focusing on frontend development, covering topics like security, app scaling, frameworks & libraries, and common JavaScript questions. The second round was a behavioral interview assessing problem-solving and communication skills.

The interview process was pretty thorough and interesting. It gave me a good look at the company and the job. First, there was an initial screening where we talked about my background. Then, there were more rounds focusing on specific skills and how I'd handle different situations. The panel interviews were good, showing how the team works together. The last interview was with senior people, and I got to understand the company's direction better. It was tough but good, and I'm still really interested in the job.
