Hi,
We regret to hear that you didn’t have a pleasant experience in our hiring process.
As you mentioned, our hiring process is divided into three stages, that we often conduct in less than two weeks:
Stage 1 - Understand how well the candidate knows the common body of knowledge for the position (in this case, Software Engineering);
Stage 2 - Understand if we are the right place for that next step;
Stage 3 - Understand how mature the candidate is in the technology/tooling that he/she is applying and if we like to work together;
We look for people that can join our team and help us grow while growing with us. Thus why we designed Stage 1 the way you’ve done it. In our industry, technology shifts happen fast and often, and we need to ensure everyone is well prepared for those moments.
We only dive into the specifics of the technology on Stage 3. The reason why we do this is that it’s easier to learn a technology (i.e. Javascript in your case) than to have a solid knowledge of Software Engineering or Computer Science.
In any case, we thank you for your feedback. Best of luck in the future.
