Interviewed for the React Engineer position, first 20-30 minutes were some questions about React and general coding practices (React hooks, class vs functional components, how you go about code reviews, etc.). The coding portion was fetching an object from an API and displaying it on screen, very simple. They will ask you to implement tests so make sure to practice that.
