How landed on the interview?
📞 Got a call from a recruiter who found my profile on Naukri, possibly through a third-party platform.
Round 1: Security and React
🔒 Focus on web security, including knowledge about attacks and defense mechanisms.
🛡️ Questioned about web security fundamentals, such as common attacks like XSS (Cross-Site Scripting) and ransomware.
💡 Discussed the security principles followed in my organization and the security considerations while coding on the frontend.
⚛️ Explored React's lifecycle methods and their significance in maintaining secure web applications.
📚 Asked about component design considerations, such as minimizing security vulnerabilities and ensuring data privacy.
✍️ Requested to write a generic memoization function to test problem-solving skills.
I honestly admitted that I was familiar with the terms but lacked practical experience. However, I expressed my willingness to learn and enhance my understanding of security.
Soon after, the HR representative joined the call and informed me that if I were selected, I would receive an invitation for a managerial interview within the next two hours. At that moment, I felt burnt out and uncertain about my chances of being selected, considering my performance in the security-related questions.
Round 2: JavaScript/Framework
🤝 Started with introductions and discussed my work experience.
💻 Technical questions covered Promises, asynchronous behavior, and generator functions.
🔍 Asked to write a polyfill for the reduce function (already practiced!).
🖇️ Question on object manipulation (specific details not recalled).
💬 In-depth discussions and arguments on pure functions and currying concepts.
After completing the first round, I was given a half-hour break and asked to rejoin the same link for the next round.
Round 3: Hiring Manager/Culture Fit
💼 Interviewed by the manager, who explained the project and asked about a feature I was proud of.
📊 Provided a detailed explanation and even drew a flow chart to illustrate the feature's flow.
💬 Discussion about conflict resolution within a team and handling team dynamics.
🤝 HR informed me that will let u know 😂
