I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at STAGE (India) (Noida) in Apr 2024
Interview
Process
- I was approach by a recruiter.
- Recruiter shared the assessment with me.
- The assessment mentioned creating a my List feature (similar to watchlist) which allows user to save their favourite TV shows and movies.
- Included bunch of requirements like feature should be optimised, integration tests to be written, having a CI/CD deployment pipeline.
- The application created should be deployed.
- All these requirement and you need to finish the assignment in 7-8 hours( on a single day).
Feedback
- After completing the assignment (giving my 7-8 hours), I emailed them all the details (github and deployed app link).
- After 4 days I receive feedback from the recruiter saying it didn't went well. No description of what went wrong.
Lesson Learned
- After reading few blogs/posts on the internet, I found out how few companies post interviews for finding solution to their existing issues/problems. This is what I feel like might have happened in my case.
- Will never do such online assessment in the future.
