J'ai postulé en ligne. J'ai passé un entretien chez SmartNews en mai 2021
Entretien
Overall interview was pretty straight forward. First I received a Codility online assessment. It was just basic algorithm questions. Then you get a "Frontend Specific Knowledge" interview and a "Frontend Specific Programming" interview. They will test you on your JavaScript skills. I mainly code using Angular so I don't actually know too in depth about JavaScript, so I was definitely not prepared. If your JavaScript knowledge/skills are good then you will be fine.
Explain JavaScript main thread and worker threads. How do you communicate between main thread and worker threads? How can worker threads impact main thread?

J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 3 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez SmartNews (Tokyo) en févr. 2020
Entretien
Went through an external recruiter via LinkedIn, took a Codility test (typical algorithm/ data structure type interview tests). Was advised by recruiter to practice before attempting the test, so spent a few days on Codility platform with their practice samples. Test took 2 hrs (2 questions), but 1 hr was more than sufficient to complete the test - difficulty was on par with codility practice questions, where there is a tendency to trick the test taker with edge cases (be careful about the input/output parameter ranges).
Only received a reply 2 weeks after taking the test, there was no mention of how I did during the test, only that my resume indicated that I had not enough experience in front end development - This should have been indicated in the pre-screening and not after I have taken the test which had nothing to do with assessing my front-end skills.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Codility test, you can refer to the codility platform for practice examples, difficulty was similar.
