Recruiter contacted me. They asked if I wanted to go for traditional engineer role or frontend engineer role. I chose frontend. They scheduled the interview at my earliest convenience. First phone screen was in codepen and was to use any framework I wanted (jquery was loaded by default but I went with react) to implement a very basic frontend component. The task itself is easy but they were looking for how you might make it reusable and it was not conversational or collaborative. You can ask questions but you have to accomplish the task as fast as possible. Moved to a second phone screen which was on coderpad which was to implement a model that passed some tests. This was conversational and they even said I could google things. The task is easy enough and does not require google. You should know all your basics of javascript and should be able to implement every new feature without hesitation. If I could do it over, I would work faster, as the requirements of the second interview were iterative and it was unclear how much they expected you to accomplish within the time frame. The interviews both went well so hard to say what rubric they docked me on. Got the rejection email two days later with no feedback on why.

Online applications must be an automated process as I was rejected from my online application but a recruiter personally reached out to me weeks later. I had a short call with the recruiter to review my experience and was set up for a technical screen for which I was told would cover frontend concepts and best practices. I was also sent prep materials emphasizing the same. However the actual technical screen was a data structure and algorithm/ leet code hard problem.
