I was recently invited for an on-site interview by the company's recruiter. Upon arrival, all the interviewees were made to wait for almost two hours before the process began. Though we were previously told that laptops would not be required, we were then asked to take a 5-question coding test on our personal laptops. If someone didn't have a laptop, they asked other interviewees to share theirs. The coding test on HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and React was to be completed within an hour. After the test, we waited another hour before some of us were selected for the next round. The next round was a technical interview where they asked many questions about the same topics, including some whiteboard coding. This lasted for half an hour, and at the end, they informed me that I was not selected. I found the experience to be unorganized, with a lack of clear communication and unexpected requests that were not aligned with what was initially communicated. It was a disappointing experience overall.

I applied online and about a month later, the recruiter contacted me to have a phone conversation. What the job description doesn't tell you is that it's more of a system administration job. During the HR phone screen she asked about my background and where I want to go with my career. After that, she basically asked four questions that a non-elite developer wouldn't know.
