Behavioral Coding
I was contacted by a recruiter on LinkedIn. We had a brief conversation about my experience, and they mentioned they'd forward my profile. I then had an hour-long call to discuss my background and the technologies I've used, and they explained their projects. We also had a casual chat about tech and industry ideas. Following that, I received a take-home assignment to build a custom video player with specific features using ReactJS. After they reviewed my submission, I was invited to a final call with two engineers from the team I would be joining. This call focused mainly on the take-home task. I received an offer two weeks later.
