Xtivia Frontend Engineer Interview Questions
& Process

I had a straightforward video call interview with Randheer, which was refreshing. It focused directly on technical React questions. It was a nice change from interviews that are all about personality, and I'd definitely consider applying again because it feels like they value knowledge and skill over office politics.

So I had an initial call with the recruiter to chat about the job and answer some general questions about myself. After that, I was sent a take-home coding assignment using React, where I had to build a small application that pulled data from an external API, then sort and edit that data on the page. I had 24 hours to get that done. The next step was a technical interview. They gave me some JavaScript code with a bug I needed to find. We also reviewed my take-home project and talked about adding a couple small things to it. They also asked me about dealing with tough clients and some Git questions, like about merge conflicts. I didn't make it past that stage.

I had a phone interview with the recruiter, and it went well. I learned a lot about the company and he did a good job selling Xtivia. He was pleasant to talk to. However, I was supposed to get a coding assignment the next day but never received it. When I asked about it, I got an apology and the assignment was rescheduled for the following week. He forgot again. I'm not sure what the problem was, but I stopped trying at that point. The assignment was supposed to take 6-8 hours. It wasn't a good experience. I'm glad I didn't plan my day around it, because I would have done it for nothing.
