Online technical assessment on Equip.io, followed by internal recruiter call, followed by technical interview with CTO. The technical assessments were regular Leetcode style questions, of which you can walkthrough and discuss in the CTO round. After putting in ~3 hours interview/prep time with them I never even got a response back after the third stage, even after asking them when I could expect to hear back. At least have the respect to respond to someone, let alone provide some feedback to candidates.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Leetcode-style prisoner cells problem + generic array pointer problem.
1. Online Coding Test
2. Technical Interview with CTO
3. HR round
The setup for OA was quite complex and required two cameras (laptop + mobile), I believe this is to curb AI cheats.
The CTO round was nice, the interview was more like conversation and understanding thought process.

Question 1
OA:
1. Codewars: Prison Break Kata problem
2. 25 MCQ on React fundamentals.
Like how does Linking module works, or how would onClick behave when set on parent and children.
Technical with CTO:
1. Followup optimisation on coding problem (can you improve space, time?)
2. React question on redux state management (useSelector() hook was initialised with empty array [] which was causing re-rendering of the component, the catch was to remove this empty array and instead use initialState prop in redux store)
I applied online. I interviewed at Emma (UK) (London, England) in Jan 2026
Interview
As others have mentioned, the assessment is run through a third-party interview platform that records your screen and requires you to use your phone to monitor your hands and general surroundings. There’s no live interviewer present. From what I could tell, you’re recorded and later evaluated largely on whether they think you might be cheating (eye movement, environment, etc.).
I understand why companies might be drawn to this approach in the age of AI and an oversaturated job market. That said, the experience genuinely made me uncomfortable, instantly stressed, and I closed my laptop after a minute or two.
This was my first coding test after re-entering the job market, and fortunately the ones I’ve done since have felt much more human. I’d encourage the company to reconsider this interview approach - though in the current market, they may not feel the need to.

Question 1
Leetcode/Codewars style medium difficulty question, followed by others I'm sure, never got that far.
