I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Ascendeum in Mar 2024
Interview
In the first round, I cleared an easy non technical online test with basic questions.. Then, there was a technical interview scheduled by HR. During this interview, I was asked to code a click game in JavaScript, which I completed successfully. However, despite clearing this round, the scheduling of the second interview was repeatedly delayed despite my follow-ups. After numerous calls, it was finally scheduled, but instead of a technical round, I unexpectedly found myself being interviewed by the founder because HR had indicated that the second round would be technical. Unfortunately, he was rude for no apparent reason, asked only two questions about my skills and experience, and abruptly ended the call without giving any feedback. I only received an update from HR after asking multiple times. Later, HR informed me that they rejected my application, saying they had selected someone else. The entire process took a long time, and I had to consistently reach out for updates. I had heard similar negative experiences from others but chose to proceed anyway, which turned out to be a big mistake.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The task required implementing a JavaScript-based grid click game. The game's functionality includes randomly lighting up square boxes within a grid upon clicking the start button. When a lit square is clicked, the game records the response time in a table. Furthermore, the game should provide a reset option that clears both the grid and the table.
