Interview
Call with recruiter, call with engineering manager about behavioral stuff and technical round with a couple senior engineers. After that there is a system design interview. I didn’t make it after that. Very nice people and no ego though.

Question 1
Coding questions were not algorithmic more like basic of the coding language. If I remember correctly was like taking data and forming into and object and sorting based on certain criteria. I think they also did a code review and asked to explain the code.

Interview
After an introductory interview with a recruiter, the technical interview was led by a manager that did not seem very technically inclined. Most of the questions asked seemed like they came from Googling "top 10 React questions". The interviewer said a couple of my answers were incorrect, but the "correct answer" that they gave was just a rewording of my original answer. That indicated to me that the interviewer didn't really understand the questions they were asking, which could say a lot about the developers that are hired here. The interviewer was rather unprofessional as well. The interview was remote, the interviewer was shrouded in darkness on his camera, and he looked and spoke like he had just gotten out of bed. He seemed bored and completely uninterested in conducting the interview.
