A very disappointing interview experience overall, mostly to do with the recruiter I was in contact with.
Initial chat with recruiter, I was met with a deflated attitude and made to feel like they had better things to be doing.
Was told I'd receive study material as I progressed to the second round but that never came.
Second round with one of the developers was fine, had a series of questions, each one building off of the result of the last. Was able to answer the questions but did not articulate myself well and did not optimise my answer. I didnt realise that this was a key factor in this particular interview.
The copy pasted rejection email and 10 words of feedback following were supremely unhelpful, along the lines of "study the API". Given that the candidate is allowed to use Google during the interview to reference the API, I did not think this was helpful feedback at all and would have wanted to hear back on how I could improve my verbal communication or specific points I got stuck on.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1st round - Initial phone interview to assess candidate suitability. Basic chat followed by simple questions with JS
2nd round - Technical coding round using vanilla Javascript based on ES6 API
Did not progress to third round
Interview was good. The guys conducting the interview knows his stuff. But the interview questions weren't really good, Some are old school questions and nothing to do with the role.
Overall, the interview process is good. The interviewer gave me another chance and suggested to apply later.
The first round was ok, building a logic for a simple kids game.
Second one includes 3 interviews back to back to back and was a but harder then I expected, The position was for mid-level developer.
