Kiwee interview questions

In the job description it was mentioned that a great candidate needs good skills in Symfony, in terms of backend, and JavaScript/TypeScript + HTML5 and CSS3 in terms of frontend. After my candidacy was taken into consideration I was sent a request to complete an approx. 2-hour home task, which included 4 short coding challenges: * bash * sql * math * array In addition, there were also various open questions about diagnosing slow loading pages, cybersecurity, describing good implementation CI/CD process etc. After completing the task, I received an approval of my solutions and an invitation to the intro call. In the middle of the interview I was asked a Vue.js specific question, even though Vue.js was not mentioned in the job description. Finally I have been rejected, because I don't have any expertise in Vue.js which is an essential skill required to be in the team. It is surprising to me, that even though Vue.js knowledge is a mandatory skill, it was not mentioned in any step earlier -- both parties would have avoided wasting their time, because it was clear from the beginning that I am not a good candidate for the role. For the sake of my feedback I have decided to inform about this particular issue and even though I had a thorough discussion with Project Manager, the job posting still was not updated with the precise requirements. I am just disappointed that wasting 3 hours of my time could have been avoided had the job posting was precise.

The interview process was engaging and enjoyable from start to finish. First was the in-depth call with the CEO where we touched on several topics both work and life related. Then came the technical interview with the CTO and one of the Senior developers. The questions in it were fair for the position and both of the interviewers did a great job in providing additional explanation and/or context for the questions when asked. After the tech interview came the call with the PM in which we ran through some behavioral and situational questions, nothing out of the ordinary. Never in the interview process have I felt that the steps and/or questions were pointless, everything was thought through and all of the people met in the process were super friendly.
