- Initial Call with Recruiter - Interview with two engineers from the company - Weird action from the company I Initially had a call with the recruiter which went fine, and a follow-up interview with two engineers from the company. I don't remember the exact questions but I remember trying to solve something on a coding platform like codility. One of the engineers kept asking a niche question on microfrontends which seemed to be too specific to the usecase of the company, but it went fine eventually as the other engineer tried bringing calm. Here is where things went weird, I received a success message and invite to schedule the next interview which I planned for two weeks from the date I received it. Then about a week before the interview, I received a message from someone at the company claiming the next interview was a mistake. I do not think that was a mistake, and it seemed they went with someone that had an earlier interview.

The first interview was initiated shortly after applying and scheduled soon after to be conducted through Hangout. The interview process goes through 3 stages as follows: 1) 30 min interview, get to know the company, expectations and requirements and they get to know you better. 2) the interview breaks into two 60 mins sessions, firstly the Cultural fit interview to better understand your working style and how do you play amongst the team. Second party focuses on the technical perspective to better understand your previous experience, followed by some technical questions and a small live coding session to test your skills. 3) the last interview is over the course of 90 mins and involves a more thorough cultural fit questions, meeting the director of engineering and lastly meeting one of the Co-Founders. The process is rather straight forward and clear from the beginning, whist allowing the time for you to ask questions. The team has a vibrating positive energy, and are clear on what they're looking for, prioritize a great cultural fit over technical know-how. Some of the key values addressed are: open-mindedness, clear feedback, and enthusiasm.
