Coding Technical System Design Behavioral
I sent my CV and got a call from HR. Then, I had a 1-hour technical interview with the team lead. They gave me a small assignment in nodeJS and then asked some 'what if' questions about the code I wrote. It was a fun, friendly chat. Next, I had another technical interview with a different team leader and someone from R&D. We spent 45 minutes on a freestyle system design, which was also very friendly and fun. Finally, I had an in-person HR interview. Everyone was friendly and professional, and I had a good impression overall, even though they picked someone with more experience.

Technical Coding
The initial part of the interview process was okay until the coding task. They gave me a task whose example was written in VB, even though I was interviewing for a JS role, with 80% frontend focus. This made it take longer to understand the example and requirements. The task itself wasn't complicated, just not something I use daily, so it took me an hour to complete due to missing knowledge and I couldn't finish it on time. I did finish it 15 minutes after getting home. This wasn't a good experience; if you interview someone, test their skills on the tasks relevant to the position.
