Coding Technical

The external HR did a great job, the live coding test wasn't described exhaustively, but the interviewers were understanding and supportive anyway. There were 4 steps in total (counting the Codility test), and after each one, the feedback was very detailed.

Confirmed questions3 questions
  • LeetCode problems were asked.
  • There were questions about React.
  • Logic questions were posed.

Behavioral Coding Technical

The interview process took way too long, more than a month. By the time I reached the final stage, I couldn't even remember the role I applied for. It started with a dull HR screening that felt like a chore. Then came three algorithm problems on a coding platform, solvable in various languages, not just the one needed for the job. After that, I had a 1:1 with a tech lead, which focused more on soft skills than technical aspects. The final round was a live coding session with their developers. As an introvert, I got flustered when they constantly asked what I was doing at each step. They ended the session early, without trying to understand my thought process or knowledge. My suggestion to them was to provide some info on the tools/versions for the last step, as coding in a new environment like codesandbox.io with someone observing is stressful. Overall, it was a neutral experience, not overly challenging but excessively lengthy.

Confirmed questions5 questions

Behavioral Technical Coding

The process had 5 steps and I was attended by a recruiter during the whole process: 1. Video call with the recruiter to get to know each other and go through my previous experience in other jobs, etc. 2. Online test with three parts that took 1 hour approx. Each part has an algorithm to solve, the first two parts can be done quite fast, the third one is a little more complicated. I would recommend practicing with some algorithms before doing this test. 3. A 1to1 meeting with a team lead to have a chat about your experience and get some insights from both parts. 4. A live technical test with two team leads in which I was asked for adding features to a react app. It was nothing too crazy: handling events, controlling state, adding some CSS, etc. 5. Four referrals from coworkers, preferably two managers and two colleagues.

Regarding JavaScript scope, consider this code: var x = 9; var module = { x: 81, getX: function() { this.x = 10 return this.x; } }; module.getX(); // nr 1 -> 10 var retrieveX = module.getX; retrieveX(); // nr 2 -> 9 var boundGetX = retrieveX.bind(module); boundGetX(); // nr 3 -> 81. What are the outputs?
