There was a 1st HR call where they explained to me the role and the process. The role and my experience looked like a perfect fit. When they told me that the technical interview would last around 2.5 hrs I understood that something is not right. 2nd hint for what would follow, was the fact that the specific position was open for a couple of months already (fun fact - believe it or not - the position is already open 5 months later). The technical interview was lead by 2 other FE Principal Engineers. The one of them (older and more senior) was unexpectedly expressive and with a very peculiar behaviour (e.g. speaking a lot, commenting every single phrase I was telling, making cringe jokes etc.). This made it really difficult for me to focus on the questions I had to answer, creating a stressful procedure overall. In the end of the process, I was feeling really drained and really regretting for taking this interview. Although I responded most of the technical questions correctly and having a positive feedback by the interviewers, I received a very generic feedback that they wanted someone with more experience in architecture concepts whereas 90% of the questions required pure Javascript knowledge. As I already mentioned, it was a total waste of time.
