Interview
Applied though the website. Had a technical phone interview. The interviewer asked a few behavioral questions, asked about my background and the technologies I knew. Then asked lots of questions on different front end technologies. Most question were simple, but the interviewer expected quick answers. Asked to code some simple JS. Got a rejection letter a week after.
