The interview process was generally well-organized and professional, and the hiring manager was polite and respectful. However, I found the technical interview somewhat vague and not well-aligned with senior-level frontend experience. The discussion focused heavily on high-level or theoretical topics such as the Virtual DOM, SSR concepts, and naming commonly used React hooks. While these topics are fundamental, they didn’t leave much room to demonstrate real-world senior experience, such as architectural decision-making, performance trade-offs in large applications, debugging complex UI issues, or scaling frontend systems across teams. As a senior frontend engineer, I would have expected deeper discussion around practical challenges, design decisions, and how to reason about trade-offs rather than primarily conceptual questions. Overall, the process was respectful but felt more suited to assessing mid-level knowledge rather than evaluating senior frontend expertise.

1. Recruiter screening 2. Behavior interview with Hiring Manager with general questions from my experience 3. 2h tech interview with general computer science and React questions with a small algorithm task traversing DOM tree Interviewers on all stages were super kind
