The interview focused on discussing react and redux functionality. The only verbal question I was asked was to describe react lifecycle methods (old syntax with componentDidMount, componentDidUpdate, etc.). The fact that I'm absolutely confident in all modern syntax and able to execute ANY code didn't interest the interviewer much; he wanted to hear about old lifecycle methods. Then, in the remaining 40 minutes, I was given to do the following in Typescript!: codepen react project with the following: 1. fix several CSS bugs, 2. fetch data of random length via external API, 3. render that data in certain way, sort it, perform actions so that components are reorganized based on the user actions. All of it was nearly done. The remaining piece was to build the Redux portion. The amount of work is insane. I didn't have a chance to get to the Redux portion due to lack of time.

The Questions described above will ask you some grandma old react stuff. Forget about hooks and rtk query. He didn't even know what React Vite is
Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite segnalazione di un dipendente. La procedura ha richiesto una settimana. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Yahoo nel mese di gen 2024
Colloquio
I had a couple recruiter calls and personality/culture fit type interviews, then a coding challenge with one Engineer supervising. After the coding challenge I was to present to a four person panel of engineers.

They asked me to build way too much in way too short of a timeframe. Stock ticker with websockets, fetching sets of data from a phoney api, multiple stock portfolios so the data needed to update based on a dropdown, needed it styled to match a bad screenshot mock, had about an hour to do so after the initial talks with the screener. All in vanilla JS. Then had to present what I was able to get done to a team of honestly pretty rude engineers. To top it off, the web based IDE I had to use was buggy. Terrible experience.
