Interview experience for Frontend Software Engineer position
The process started off well. HR was very friendly and said they were hiring fast, so I agreed to a tight interview schedule. I applied for a frontend-focused role, but the system design round I was told would be backend-related turned out to be frontend. Fortunately, I handled it well without preparation and got positive feedback at the end of interview.
Later, I had to follow up myself to get any response. I was then invited to a technical round with less than 24 hours’ notice. Although they said the position was junior and expectations were low, the online JavaScript challenge was quite difficult and the instructions were confusing. I did my best and especially did well in the UI design part.
After that, I emailed again asking for any kind of feedback — even a rejection — but I was completely ghosted.
Overall, the process started friendly but ended up being disorganized and unprofessional.
Smooth, professional and quick. Scheduling was fast. Positive feedback was provided rather quickly. It would have been helpful if feedback was provided on what went wrong. Despite sending email, did not get feedback.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Flink in Nov 2023
Interview
I responded to the job opening on my own, and a recruiter quickly contacted me. We scheduled the first interview, which went well. I was then invited to the next stage about values, which I also passed, leading to an invitation for a third interview. The HR representative mentioned sending me the available schedule for the interview but disappeared. Despite reaching out via email and LinkedIn, I received no response. Later, I noticed that the job posting had been closed.
