nanameue interview questions

Applied online. Company reached out to schedule initial HR interview. Interviewer was nice. HR interview consisted of basic questions you would expect, with one oddball one thrown in: "What do you think we could improve about our app from an engineering perspective?" I'd used the app a bit beforehand, but that's still an awfully hard question to answer knowing nothing about their internals, and it's doubly weird to be asked it from a non-technical HR person. After that was a technical round, which consisted of a take home project to build a Twitter clone app with a Firebase backend. Their requirements were pretty feature-complete for a sample app and they expected production-quality code and practices. It was 10+ hours of work (unpaid). They rejected my submission but refused to provide a reason why "due to high volume of applicants." In my opinion it's pretty unprofessional for them not to provide at least a 1-2 sentence reason, given the frankly unreasonable length of the take home. Also, after my submission they ghosted me for a week (no acknowledgement of receipt, even), and only responded to say I was rejected *after* I explicitly reached out asking for an update. Overall, probably a bullet dodged. Repeated mentions of the web3 space + lowball salary were already raising red flags.

First they give you some leet code medium-hard type questions through Codility. Next was an interview with an HR hiring person. I felt very uncomfortable during it as he had a "startup bro mentality". He didn't handle it to the level of professionalism I had expected. Some of the questions left me with red flags. Ex. "Would you accept an offer less than 6 million yen" (Already a lowball amount of money). After this interview I was invited to the second round, but had declined it due to the red flags mentioned above.
