The interview process started off fairly standard. The first round involved a basic coding test followed by an HR call to discuss the company. In the second round, I faced a technical assessment with two developers. They asked about JavaScript concepts like block scoping, along with some React fundamentals. Afterward, there was a live session where I had to explain code outputs and come up with solutions to their problems. It felt a bit textbook to me since many of these concepts can easily be looked up, but overall, the developers explained everything very well. The third round is when things turn for the worse, the interviewers were different and not only did one of them debated my approach to solving a problem based on a real-life scenario, the other one responded poorly when I requested to look up a certain web specific syntax, the live coding session was not even React Native to begin with! While they think it's "intimidating", it actually highlights their lack of flexibility in evaluating candidates effectively. The first technical round gave me the impression that the company fosters a collaborative environment where people learn and cooperate with one another while the second one shattered that perception, it seems like I wasn't the only one who experienced this and I'm sure I won't be the last.

Interview Experience – Kloudius (React Native Developer) I recently went through the interview process with Kloudius for a React Native Developer role and wanted to share my experience with the community. Round 1 – Take Home Assignment The first step was a take-home assignment sent through email. The task was to build Login and Sign Up screens in React Native. The assignment focused on: Clean UI implementation Proper state management Basic validation and structure Code quality and readability After submitting the assignment, I received positive feedback and was invited for the next round. Round 2 – Technical Screening (Theory + Discussion) This round was mainly a technical Q&A discussion around JavaScript, TypeScript, React, and React Native. Some of the topics/questions included: JavaScript Difference between var, let, and const What is a closure How the event loop works What is hoisting Difference between synchronous vs asynchronous code What is scope in JavaScript Core concepts of ECMAScript versions and major changes React What are React Hooks Difference between class components and functional components How to optimize a React application React Native What is the Bridge / New Architecture Core components in React Native They also asked me to rate my JavaScript and TypeScript knowledge and rate. We also discussed my take-home assignment, including some design and implementation decisions. The interviewers were very friendly and gave hints whenever needed. Final Round – Technical / Pair Programming The final round was around 1–1.5 hours with the development team. This round included: A coding task and JS coding questions. Example type of coding question: let str = "Programming" // find number of occurrences of each character // expected output example { P: 1, r: 2, o: 1, g: 2, ... } The round was more like pair programming with the team, and the interviewers were very supportive. They helped guide the discussion and were respectful throughout the process. Result Unfortunately, I was rejected in the final round. I believe I struggled a bit with live coding, which is something I plan to improve going forward. Overall Experience Overall, it was a very positive interview experience. The interviewers were: Friendly Supportive Helpful during coding discussions They created a comfortable environment and were respectful throughout the entire process. I appreciate the opportunity and the learning experience. Advice for Future Candidates If you are interviewing here, I recommend preparing for: Core JavaScript fundamentals TypeScript basics React and React Native concepts Live coding / small algorithm problems Be ready to discuss your assignment and code decisions Best of luck to anyone interviewing with Kloudius 👍
