Interview Process
The interview process began with a recruiter reaching out for a Full Stack position after initially discussing both Full Stack and Senior Backend roles. The recruiter was from South Africa and conducted a preliminary interview discussing common topics, including programming languages and behavioral questions. A month later, the recruiter arranged for another recruiter to handle the technical interview directly.
The technical interview involved two interviewers. One interviewer was of Chinese descent, who asked detailed questions about previous projects, while the second interviewer focused on practical technical questions.
