Behavioral

The interview process was good, though I ultimately declined the offer. It's well-suited for extroverts as they are talkative. They asked the most common questions. It was a very positive experience and I felt comfortable throughout. The conversation lasted about 30 minutes, which is a bit long.

Behavioral

The interview process had 3 rounds total. The first two were with the talent acquisition team, and the final one was with the business. I had a really great experience when I visited their office and got to meet both interviewers. The questions they asked were situation-based and aligned well with my skills and the job description.

Technical Coding Behavioral

The interview started with a pretty straightforward phone screening, mainly focusing on technical aspects rather than personality questions. After that, I was given a coding challenge to complete within 48 hours, which involved building a small app. Honestly, it felt like they were getting free work. There's a big difference between a whiteboard session and being asked to build a full application. I was patient and finished it, but then I didn't hear back for a week. Eventually, I received a rejection stating they were moving forward with other candidates. I'm puzzled because the app worked as expected. I'm curious how they evaluate coding style, as everyone has their own way and prefers different architectures like MVP or MVVM. While I'm adaptable, I wonder if they disregard candidates who think differently, even if it could be beneficial. It seems you just have to code exactly how the organization is used to, without a chance to explain your approach. Also, giving someone 48 hours to build something complex like pagination with service calls, unit tests, error handling, and architecture, which normally takes a team many billable hours, is a bit much. Anyway, good luck to the next candidates.
