i had applied frontend reactjs position, interviewer asked me most of the questions from native javascript. i dint expect that, very few questions were asked on reactjs. and i should mention that interviewer was supportive while i was answering. no DSA ,
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at NewsBytes (Ahmedabad) in Apr 2024
Interview
1 week take home assignment, 1 hour interview with an engineer in the dept. 1 hour interview with the cofounder. Both interviews were technical. Take home assignment was related to deep learning/RL.
