The front-end interview process was well-structured, professional, and engaging. Questions covered relevant concepts, problem-solving, and practical skills without feeling overwhelming. Interviewers were respectful and communicative, creating a positive experience that allowed candidates to demonstrate their abilities and technical knowledge effectively.
I applied online. I interviewed at Lendsqr (Lagos) in July 2024
Interview
The interview process started with a take-home that had a deadline set to 7 days. The take-home was very weird and mentally draining since too many people were taking the same take-home without knowledge of the salary for the role. Upon rejection, you would be asked to register for their academy and by this, I feel the company is looking to market their academy as opposed to a candidate selection
Thanks for sharing your experience. We value every bit of feedback, even when it stings a bit. Just wanted to clarify a small but important detail: we don't have an academy – at all. Zilch. Nada. We genuinely don't know how that part came up, but it sounds like there might've been a mix-up or maybe even a little imagination at play.
As for the take-home test, it's something we're always refining to make sure it's challenging but fair. We know that it's a competitive space and that everyone deserves transparency around the process. Rest assured, we're taking all feedback into account to make our process better.
Wishing you all the best in your journey ahead!
It was generally thorough but the interviewer also considerate, she made sure I was given enough time to answer the questions. But I was nervous and couldn't think well to structure my sentences before answering.
