I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at QikServe
Interview
The interviewer looked like he was being forced to do this interview. Probably hired someone already.
The only thing he did was sarcastically roast me. Even laughed when I talked about my experiences, claiming that I was lying.
Asked some questions that you would do in a College exam but certainly wouldn't remember all of your life. Like how many bytes an integer has. (yeah if I had Google access I would've been hired)
Plus: the payment sucks. Maybe he was offering a low payment just to see if I would accept after being roasted but nah...

Question 1
Leetcode, work experience, college, why I want to switch to another company
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at QikServe
Interview
I completed a front-end technical test, delivering everything that was required. I built the project using React, Redux, internationalization, interfaces, TypeScript, GitHub Workflows, linting, and responsiveness. It was hosted on AWS using Lambda functions, CloudFront, and S3 buckets. After more than a week without hearing back, I sent an email asking for feedback on my test, and only then did they access my website (I noticed it in the logs) to evaluate the submission.
I was invited to the next stage, believing it would be something lighter, more about seeing if there was a cultural fit with the company. I was mistaken. In addition to the usual soft questions, I found out there were even more technical tests to complete, this time live over a webcam with the recruiter watching. Personally, I think these kinds of tests are all about memorization and favor developers who spend their entire day solving LeetCode problems or playing CSS games like "Move the ball inside the Square."
In summary, I did everything correctly during the test but couldn’t complete it in time. Despite delivering a fully responsive and complete application, I was disqualified for not having memorized CSS syntax.
