I was contacted by HR on Linkedin, the HR was friendly and answered most of my questions about the company but didn't know much about the specific role. 2nd round was an assignment to build a page from a PSD. I was told that it would not take more than a hour. But it took me while to complete as they had hidden layers in the PSD , and I had figure out how to extract assets from the PSD. The page to build was pretty straightforward. After a week the next round was setup.3rd round was a phone screen with a couple of Engg Managers.It was a general conversation about my previous experiences and some technical questions on css/js. At the end of the interview I was told that they are specifically look for somebody with the skill set of the frameworks they are using. That was completely disappointing because if that was the case I wouldn't have pursued the opportunity in the 1st place. Also they didn't bother to review the assignment code I submitted, which ended up being a waste of time for me.

I applied for the job online on their website, and a few days later i received an email with a skill assessment project. It was a form landing page which was pretty boring and not exciting at all to work on, but was meant to just show how knowledgeable you were with RWD and your Javascript skills. once I finished that and completed it in time I sent it back on a Wednesday and within a few hours I got a response back that they will be reviewing it and then setting up an in person interview. I didn't hear back from them and once Friday came by I decided to follow up with them and emailed them and about an hour later I received an interview email which was setup for the next week and that the project was well done and met their standards. I went in for the in person interview and the hiring manager greeted me and then lead me to a conference room where 2 other people were waiting and a 3rd on the phone. They asked typical questions about my experience and background, then they started to go over my submitted project. but then they told me that there were extra criteria that they on purpose had left out of the required criteria that they sent over to. They started to tell me that I was supposed to have optimized the page to be SEO friendly, and that there were hidden layers in the design Photoshop file they sent with better more high quality images to use for the design. They were super unprofessional and started to go over every line of code almost to the point where they said that I had an extra z-index CSS rule and that it was not needed. Seriously! who cares if there was one extra z-index CSS rule in the whole project. The interview went on for about an hour an half of them basically talking up their egos and making it sound like no one could be even close to being good enough to work there.
