I applied online. I interviewed at Cognite in May 2020
Interview
From the beginning I didn't talk to any HR person! There was a front-end developer and I realized he's not a professional and he has no idea what he's doing! My first interview was with another developer and he asked me about basics and some data structures which I found reasonable. Then they gave me a test project (connect-four game with react, vue or angular) and explicitly told me it doesn't matter what you'll use to create it. Just don't complete it and send us your work and we will have a meeting to talk about that and complete it together. My last interview was horrible. Two absolute junior developers appeared and asked me lots of strange questions. And I'm very happy that I didn't receive any job offer from this odd people.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
First interview:
- Implementing a recursive algorithm.
- Implementing a linked-list.
Second interview:
- Why did you learn vue.js beside react.js? Wasn't react.js enough?
And lot of other strange and unprofessional questions!

First-round was a technical test that I've passed successfully
Then get a reject letter because the solution may be better but there is no time to do this task
This is very disappointed really

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Cognite (Oslo) in Oct 2020
Interview
First technical call with two developers on Google Hangouts. Interview took 30 minutes. 15 minutes of conversation about past experiences and the rest for the coding test.
The coding test was on CoderPad which you get informed 10 minutes before the interview through the invitation e-mail. I was not allowed to code on my preferred IDE. Coderpad made debugging a nightmare and I was unable to finish my code on time. However, the developers were eager to help.
It is really a shame to mock Front End Developers on a timed coding test in an unfamiliar coding IDE instead of the code editor of their choice or a take home assignment.
You are given 2 arrays of objects. Create a function that returns true if a user exists in the users array and has the right permissions based on the CRUD functions that exist in the permissions array.
