I had a discussion with HR regarding the position and the company. I didn't get to the technical interview stage, because we didn't get a match with projects and type of tasks. The process was swift, with the recruiter providing feedback the day following our conversation. The interview was conducted in Russian.

Professional recruiter and smooth process. For a Senior Frontend Engineer role, I expected more discussion around architecture, modern Angular, AI-assisted development, engineering impact, and real-world product challenges. Instead, a large part of the interview focused on JavaScript internals, event propagation, Promise behavior, edge cases, and native DOM APIs. The interview felt highly standardized and more focused on a predefined question set than on evaluating real-world engineering experience and the value a candidate could bring to the product. Overall, the process felt more focused on passing an interview than on demonstrating engineering impact. Positive note: the compensation range discussed during the process was competitive (around €90k–€110k)
