Dayshape interview questions

Applied online. Heard back roughly a month later with a 10-minute admin call to confirm availability and outline the process. Three stages in total: 1. 30-minute screening call with the hiring manager via Teams — background, experience, and motivations. 2. Short online technical aptitude test via Adaface — multiple choice JavaScript questions, roughly 15-20 minutes. Focused on code tracing rather than algorithm solving. 3. 60-minute final interview via Teams with the Development Manager and a Tech Lead. Split between a technical exercise (predicting output of a JavaScript sorting function, reasoning out loud) and a values/competency conversation. Outcome communicated within a week of the final interview. Process was well organised throughout with clear communication at each stage.

Went through recruiter screen. Told I was going to have a 30 minute phone screen to go over resume and fit with the hiring manager. Lo and behold, it ended up being a video interview and was asked mostly behavioral questions with no resume walkover whatsoever. Half of the interview was a bizarre roleplay where you had to pretend you're helping a client design a swimming pool in the Scottish Highlands.
