We had a lot of steps (3 interviews and a practical part) and a very long and stupid review at the end. After I spent several days making practical parts the reason for the decline was not pixel-perfect implementation.

Professional recruiter and smooth process. For a Senior Frontend Engineer role, I expected more discussion around architecture, modern Angular, AI-assisted development, engineering impact, and real-world product challenges. Instead, a large part of the interview focused on JavaScript internals, event propagation, Promise behavior, edge cases, and native DOM APIs. The interview felt highly standardized and more focused on a predefined question set than on evaluating real-world engineering experience and the value a candidate could bring to the product. Overall, the process felt more focused on passing an interview than on demonstrating engineering impact. Positive note: the compensation range discussed during the process was competitive (around €90k–€110k)
