The interviewer was really friendly and made a strong first impression. Once we got into the interview, the questions seemed to get increasingly more vague and a lot about the role seemed to not be defined yet. Not many technical questions but a lot asking about motivations to work in this sector, and how past experiences would contribute towards the role.

Have you had experience with difficult clients/customers, and how did you deal with it?
Fiz uma entrevista na empresa Isometric (New York, NY).
Entrevista
The interview process was very extensive. I had four rounds of interviews with different team members, who asked similar questions. I was off my game on the last interview and totally bombed one question (due to lack of preparation), and assume I didn't get the position because of that.
Process:
The process had three stages:
HR interview:Standard culture-fit style questions.
Technical interview: Hands-on React, TypeScript/JavaScript questions. Fair but fairly surface-level.
System design round: Two interviews scheduled back-to-back: a prepared presentation on frontend application design immediately followed by a system design interview.
Final round (didnt get here)
Concerns:
The 3rd round structure was unreasonable. A presentation immediately followed by a system design interview with no buffer time put unnecessary pressure on the candidate and felt more like an endurance test than a fair assessment.
After the process, I was told that a last-minute request to reschedule one interview was interpreted as a “lack of confidence.” This felt subjective and dismissive. Life happens, and preparation should be seen as professionalism, not a weakness.
Overall, the structure of the process seemed more focused on testing endurance than fairly evaluating ability.
Overall:
The interviewers themselves were polite and engaged, but the structure and feedback left a negative impression. If you’re applying, be prepared for an intense process with little flexibility, and know that even minor scheduling adjustments may be judged harshly.
