There were two technical interview rounds focused primarily on data structures and algorithms, where problem solving, logical thinking, time complexity analysis, and clear explanation of approaches were evaluated thoroughly overall.

Screening call was great but call with tech leader was very poor. Didn’t realize it was going to be a bunch of textbook programming pop quiz types of questions that I haven’t had in an interview since interviewing for my first job out of college. Questions were so basic and didn’t feel relevant to what a day to day job of a software engineer is. Just wanted me to list out data types, explain what typescript is, and basic things about JavaScript. Seemed like he wanted me to read definitions from a programming textbook. It was a video call but the guy had his camera off and felt very cold, which was a red flag for what their culture must be like. Interview felt very old school, not anything like all the other startups I’ve interviewed with where they ask about projects, planning process, working within a team, and real life job scenarios.
