Here are the most commonly searched roles for interview reports -
only through email to arrange and follow up, not very clear procedure, and you may receive many emails from many people and some maybe system emails, I guess it's a small company, not well arranged for this
Very clear interview process and a great recruiting team and a cool company.
However, the work isn't special but the interviewers have a high standard for some reason -- any basic tenured dev can do the work lol apparently looking for "cream of the crop"
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Basic Software design question -> explain building a web api and then some follow-ups
Coding interview: merge two arrays and sort them based on their squared value: [1,3,7] and [4,10,11] -> simple solution with two pointers
remove duplicates in a string
Some behavioral questions
After going through several recruitment stages, including a home task challenge, the feedback received was vague and unhelpful. As usual, there was no transparency or clear explanation regarding the reasons behind rejecting the application.
