I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at X (Tóquio) in Nov 2024
Interview
1. 30mins interview with recruiter where I were given to speak only 5 minutes. I wanted to have QandA session, however, recruiter was too passionate about speaking how Elon Musk changed everything in company, I did not have time to ask any question. 2. Second was frontend coding online session. I was given a task to solve in 1 hour, and at the end QandA session was promised. Unfortunately, I guess I did it badly because of nerves and it was late in the evening, that was the reason I got rejection at the end.
Everything was wonderful, however the main concerning point for me was the fact, that initially I was contacted by 2 X recruiters from 2 different teams. Then 2 recruiters setup initial meetings. However, after I failed frontend one, second one suddenly rejected (backend one) meeting and started ghosting me. Well, I am backend engineer after all, and have no idea why they put me in frontend interviews at first place, but it was good experience anyway. The sad part is because of this interview another recruiter for backend position ghosting me.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Recruiter questions: Why do you want to work in X. Questions about past experience, especially previous one. What was my role, what part of project I contributed.
Second round frontend coding: it is in pure JS. Given the list of words, you have to implement kind of autocomplete logic in search bar, implement X button to clear the input, also when you click on specific item in search dropdown, it should appear in search bar and close the dropdown.
