Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Team decided last minute to switch the format of the interview to purposely catch people unprepared. Very unprofessional and deceitful made me somewhat worried when I found out this was not a mistake.
The Senior developer asked me mainly unrelated React questions, such as, 'can you explain inversion of control'. An Unfriendly and unsettling experience. The senior developer had no character and was unfriendly.

Question 1
Can you explain 'tree shaking', 'inversion of control', 'event loop'. All very unrelated to day-to-day react development.
