Interview
Kennismakingsgesprek, daarna technisch interview met drie andere developers. Vervolgens een take-home assignment (erg leuk) en tenslotte een interview met twee developers. Ze stelde goede, kritische vragen die ik zeker zou verwachten bij dit niveau en deze vacature.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Hoe zou je een herbruikbare component architectuur opstellen, hoe zou je een onderzoek opstellen om te bepalen of technologieën voor de organisatie ingezet kunnen worden.

Interview
I had submitted my resume to the Utrecht office in the Netherlands. There were 2 rounds of interviews and the whole process was boring and frustrating. The questions they asked had nothing to do with the hiring process. They were a truly unprofessional team.

Interview
I was invited to an interview about a week after I sent my resume on LinkedIn. The first interview was not particularly challenging and was with hr. The next interview was set a few days later and was technical. I was told that they were looking for a React developer, but this is not true. The questions were about web components, because this company doesn't use new tools and has a bunch of old projects and legacy code that were implemented 7-8 years ago and you have to maintain them. I think this is not good for a developer at all, because now everyone is using new tools and AI and when you leave this company you will not be able to find a job anywhere.
The next thing is that they did not have any special tools to analyze and review the performance of the project in production! That is, saying if there was a problem or not is not an issue that really shows the technical weakness of the company.
I should also mention that the interviewers' behavior was very cold and unprofessional and they were not at all willing to answer your questions.

Question 1
Most of the questions were about old technologies, like how to implement web components with vanilla JavaScript and write styles for them.
