First, there was a 48-hour challenge sent via email. The task was easy but contained a deliberate error in the instructions, which I didn’t appreciate. Next, there was a one-hour online coding session. The interviewer showed little engagement—simply sending the instructions in the chat and sitting quietly. The task was designed to be too long to complete within the given time, yet I received no guidance on what aspects were most important to focus on. I prioritized writing high-quality code and did my best to complete the task based on what I deemed right. The interviewer lacked communication skills, and the environment didn’t seem particularly friendly. It felt like they valued quick-and-dirty solutions over well-designed, high-quality code.

I applied on their website, did their fun capture-the-flag challenge and heard back from a recruiter within 2 days. In total there was a recruiter round, a 1-hr technical interview, and a final onsite consisting of 2 1-hr coding interviews (similar to the first round), a systems design interview, and a behavioural. The problems were implementation based and were challenging but engaging. You definitely need a comfort level with writing React apps and TS/JS classes quickly and correctly.
