I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at OpenComp in July 2022
Interview
There was an initial phone screen with the recruiter followed by 90 minute technical screen with two engineering managers. They used coderpad + zoom to conduct the technical screen and left maybe five minutes for questions.

Question 1
There was a DS/Algo "leetcode" style question, a terrible terribly useless "frontend" evaluation which used JS to animate (rather than a pure CSS animation or animation component from a framework), and a test over basic SQL joins.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at OpenComp in Dec 2021
Interview
3-4 rounds. Very unique, was asked to review a mock data set and respond to questions. I like this approach bc it allows you to discuss actual working skills based on a shared data set, rather than rambling about past successes where its difficult to explain context. Really puts everyone on the same page.

Question 1
General experience questions and list of questions based on mock data set (given a week or so to review)
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at OpenComp in Feb 2022
Interview
Recruiter reached out to me on linkedin and booked a technical phone screen after.
She told me the interview will be backend focused but I got tested everything in JS when JS is not even my primary language. Of course people will be slow when they are not working with their day to day language.
I told the recruiter about the situation and I got nothing more other than a sorry and a rejection. Asked for feedback but got no reply.
A total waste of time for me and it shows that the company has poor communications between the teams and does not care about candidates.

Question 1
Some Js questions about setTimeout and find anagrams.
