Phone call with recruiter, followed by technical interview with trivia questions, then frontend coding interview. Do not trust their recruiters. For the second technical round, they first said it will be backend-based, but calendar invite said it will be frontend-based with full-stack questions. When asked to confirm, they confirmed that the coding interview will be algorithmic questions and language agnostic. Turns out it is a purely React-based technical interview. How helpful.
Pair programming while on a video call on a programming challenge with an engineer from the company. Not algorithmic, real world style challenge. Engineer was helpful and offered some guidance toward the solution.
