I interviewed at Cord (London)

Interview

I was asked a technical question to debug some React code. On spending time exploring the problem space, I started getting negative signals from the interviewer. Explained that I was spending time to understand problem space so I could do better, but I guess it didn't help. Respect to the team, and I'm sure everyone is extremely talented - but I request them to place more senior devs as interviewers - who actually empathise with how other people think.

Cord (London) response

Hi! Unfortunately, I think you are likely mistaking us for another company called Cord in London (perhaps cord.co or cord.tech). We do not use take-home challenges, don't ask these questions in interviews, and this isn't our interviewing process. I'm sorry you've had a negative experience and hopefully by reporting this to the correct company they can adjust. We'd be very happy for you to apply and witness our process if you like, at https://cord.com/jobs/
