Technical Coding
The interview started with a technical interview, which was handled by a third-party agency. The questions asked were quite irrelevant. For instance, they asked me to write a program to fetch details from a JWT token, and I'm unsure what the interviewer was trying to ascertain with that question. I believe the interview process should be managed internally rather than outsourced.

- Explain how to handle idempotency.
- Can you write a program to extract details from a JWT token and ensure requests are only completed by Administrators?

So we have 5 rounds total. First is Technical Round 1, where they check out your past projects, your tech skills, and how you practically use your tech stack. It'll cover system design stuff and maybe 1-2 coding questions, not too hard. Then Technical Round 2, which is a deeper dive into your tech stack, design patterns, SOLID, microservices, and cloud if you use it. This one gets pretty detailed and also has 1-2 coding questions. After that, Technical Round 3 with an architect, focusing on how your skills match the project, problem-solving, system design, and making things perform better. Then the Hiring Manager Round, checking your skills, experience, and how you code for scalability and cleanliness, plus team fit. Finally, the HR Round is a general chat to get to know each other and talk salary.

Technical
So I applied for a Senior Software Engineer (Angular Dev) role at SYMPLR. The whole process was just one round, and it covered the basics of Angular, JavaScript fundamentals, and also NgRx. It felt pretty unstructured, like the questions didn't really follow any order. The interviewer didn't even turn on their camera until I asked, and then they made me take off my video background, which felt a bit like an ego thing and just not very professional. Honestly, it was not a great interview experience from my end.
