They started by asking about my current company and the projects I'm working on. Since it's a MEAN stack developer role, the interviewer asked some basic JavaScript questions. Interestingly, they didn't ask anything about MongoDB, Express.js, Angular, or Node.js.

The interview was a nice experience. Three interviewees were there. It was 2 rounds of interview. First a written round and the second a face-to-face interview. The interview was for testing the verbal ability and the learning capacity. It was one of the great interviews I attended.
