I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amplemarket in Feb 2026

I applied online. I interviewed at Amplemarket
Interview
Didn't get past the assessment. The assessment questions were a little odd and some of them seemed outdated. It was a multiple choice test and the code examples they gave were poorly formatted which made it unnecessarily difficult to read.
One positive though, they offered extra time for people that had disabilities which I haven't seen anywhere else.

Question 1
Asked multiple choice questions about css, html, and react.
Thank you for your honest feedback. We’re pleased you found the accommodations helpful and will keep your input in mind as we refine our process. Best wishes for your future endeavors.
Interview
The recruiter was genuinely nice, and the initial 15-minute call felt promising—lots of talk about flexibility, “We don't know yet where you'll work; you can choose what fits your skills best,” etc. Sounded great!
They showed zero interest in my actual experience (I basically had to insist on sending my resume) and asked nothing about past projects or problems I've solved, but hey, they were very impressed by my previous company name. Solid candidate vetting right there.
Then came the TestGorilla link: roughly 100 questions in 45 minutes, a bizarre mix of extremely basic trivia and overly theoretical puzzles with long dummy code descriptions (zero syntax highlighting, naturally, no line breaks). It felt more like a quiz from 2012 than a serious skills screen.
After 4 days (+ weekend) of waiting, I got the classic “limited vacancies, so many great candidates, tough decisions” rejection. Total time wasted: over an hour.
If you're screening exclusively with TestGorilla, congrats—you'll get plenty of people who are quick at clicking multiple-choice buttons. If you're looking for actual problem-solvers with real track records, maybe try asking about those instead. Just a thought. 😊

Question 1
The interview didn't have many questions; it lasted 15 minutes. Asking questions about the business and the position took up the majority of the time. The quiz included sections on CSS, HTML, React, and frontend.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amplemarket (Chisinau) in June 2025
Interview
The process included an online quiz, an HR 1:1, a technical coding challenge (1 hour), and a final coding session with the CEO (30 minutes). Both the HR and the engineer from the first technical round were really friendly.
However, during the final challenge with the CEO, I was asked to parse an HTML page using Node.js—even though I was interviewing specifically for a Frontend role. That was the first disappointing moment, as it wasn’t aligned with my area of expertise and caused me to get stuck. Still, I managed to explain a theoretical solution during the interview, and after doing some research afterward, I realized my approach had actually been correct.
I was genuinely excited about the opportunity to join the team. Unfortunately, I received only a generic rejection message in the end. I had prepared thoroughly, even reviewing feedback on Glassdoor, so I was somewhat prepared for this kind of experience—but it was still disheartening to see the CEO unfamiliar with my tech stack and to get a standard rejection after the effort I put in.

Question 1
On the first coding challenge they gave to do and phone input like (xxx) xxx - xxxx with a select of country code on react. I already saw this question on Glassdoor so I was prepared.
We appreciate you sharing your experience and the time you invested in our interview process. We’re sorry for the mismatch in the technical challenge and will keep your input in mind as we refine our process. Best of luck moving forward.
