I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at FareHarbor (Amsterdam) in Jan 2025
Interview
After application:
First is a Recruiter interview to explain the benefit,
Second is a tech interview: coding 1 (ReactJS basics because I am more familiar with React)
After the coding interview, I got a rejection.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Recruiter interview - CV-related questions
Tech interview - React: useState to have an input and fetch/render in a table, useRef to focus on input
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at FareHarbor in Mar 2025
Interview
- A call with HR. General questions about my background
- Coding 1. A live-coding assessment, where I had to write code to create a React component that met the stated specifications.
- System Design. High-level whiteboard talk about how I'd implement a component to meet specifications.
- Coding 2. A LeetCode style live-coding interview.
Everything went fine until Coding 2, which I bombed honestly. The task involved performing a BFS on a graph, something that I've never had to do in front-end work and felt more like a test of memorization than practical problem-solving. It was also telling that the interview was conducted by two back-end engineers rather than anyone from the front-end team.
