I applied online. I interviewed at Proxify (Lagos) in Jul 2025
Interview
1. 3 Codility Tests based on a form you filled, not the actual position maybe.
2. HR interview to check for fit with Proxify, but it's basically to know how technically sound you are and salary you'd be willing to take.
3. Technical interview based on 2 above. Didn't get here though.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Codility:
1. Using fetch or axios.
2. Readable/Transform Streams in Nodejs, something about converting each character of a word to caps on transform only if they're alphabets.
3. Proxy Objects in JavaScript, using it to intercept get and sets so you can validate type based on key name, eg "age_int":6, valid, but, "username_str":9, not valid.
Some test cases won't pass no matter what because they are not in how the function is described to work, so you have to manually check why each one is failing. Didn't pass all tests, but still got interviewed for the next round.
HR:
They're not honest in my opinion, they come off as trying to be but you'll find out yourself when you do the interviewing process, feedback they'll give you if you get rejected won't make any sense either, because they literally confirmed what I bought up wasn't a problem anymore, but rejected me in the end because of the exact same thing, due to supply - demand dynamics.
Conclusion:
If you're really job searching, you have no job, it's okay to give it a try to flex your interviewing muscles, if you already have a job and job searching, probably don't waste your time.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Proxify in Jul 2023
Interview
Was scheduled to an interview with the company. The day and time arrived. During the interview time no one picked up the call, and 5 minutes after the interview was supposed to start, while I was waiting for them, they sent me an automated e-mail saying they "regret that we are unable to progress your application". A waste of time. Should have sent the e-mail before the interview our at least after. I moved my scheduled around for them just to be ditched during the interview. The job search market is dehumanizing, but this was the most disrespectful I have been treated ever while in a hiring process.
