      React Js Developer Interview

      Mar 2, 2022
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Halifax, NS
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at REDspace (Halifax, NS) in Feb 2022

      Interview

      The interview process is as follows and ill include my review and thoughts here; 1. First round was a team lead screening you and just getting to know you, no HR. was about 30 mins long and pretty easy. They emailed me a take-home assessment. They changed the date for this a week later than initially planned at the LAST minute. Again, a red flag is very unprofessional but as other reviews have pointed out here this is a norm in this company. 2. Take-Home Assessment; you make a full-stack application using Node.js/Express and a React JS frontend. The task is to talk to the star wars API and render the characters' information (info, home-planet, etc.). The goal is to make one call to Star Wars API (SWAPI). EVEN DID BONUS WORK AND HOSTED IT. they give you five days to complete it. things I noted: - for a React.js posting this assessment was really over the top. Luckily, I have back-end experience which helped me a lot. Again not mentioned in the job posting that this was a requirement. A red flag again but I continued, maybe they will choose me over other canidates. - This assessment wasn't challenging for my React skills at all, more so for back-end data manipulation and API calls. 3. Third round you meet up with 2 web dev leads and an HR person. Where surprisingly they didn't ask a lot of questions on my assessment. Jus gave positive feedback and the rest of the questions were very cliche fundamental questions on React, HTML, and not a lot of CSS. The third round is where it went a little weird for me; - great feedback is given on my assessment yet no acknowledgment of what are some positives vs negatives. Also no deeper questions about assessment. it's like yay you completed our unnecessarily challenging assessment. Again no acknowledgment other than; "good job on the assessment". - I still do not understand why I made a full-stack web app for a front-end role. Maybe they messed up their assessment handouts, either way, I completed it. - interviewers ask very generally surface-level questions anyone with a basic understanding could answer. Not a lot of React questions at all. Rejected and reasoning was as follows: "We are looking for more senior positions and would consider you for upcoming junior positions" THOUGHTS/REVIEWS: --- RedSpace leads you on from the very beginning and instead of being honest, will lie to you, give you false hopes and keep pumping into the next rounds even if you complete their assessments which were NOT related to the job posting. -- The only reason I'm giving 1 star is that I was never told why I wouldn't be a good candidate and instead of being honest about their expectations, will reject you without a proper reason. If I applied to know I tick all the boxes then for what reason am I being rejected? If another candidate was chosen I would appreciate the honesty and would understand better. -- Also, such a waste of my time with interviews dates getting pushed back, unrelated assessments, and a mediocre interview process. -- Clearly, this company doesn't value your time enough and in hindsight, it is probably best I didn't get this job. -- The interview process felt like it was for a junior dev role but I'm rejected because they want a "more senior"?
