I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Ireckonu (Amsterdam) in Dec 2024
Interview
It followed a typical structure, including an initial call with the recruiter, a conversation with the team lead, and a technical interview.
The 1-on-1 interviews went fine and it was quite interesting to hear about the company.
In my view, the technical interview could have been better prepared and structured by the interviewer. All scenarios were presented verbally, and the questions provided limited opportunities for deeper discussion, as they seemed to have pre-determined answers.
Additionally, several questions focused on specific aspects of framework which you can answer right only if you have read the documentation on the subject in depth. If not, good luck.
Some code scenarios were posed verbally on the spot, which, while relevant, were quite confusing due to inconsistent explanation.
Overall, some questions were appropriate but the presentation could have been improved to allow for a more engaging, discussion driven dialogue.
I provided feedback on the interview format, as requested, but it appears my feedback was not appreciated.
Nonetheless, I was told that the company would like to send me an offer. However, I felt hesitation from the recruiter and been told that I should reconsider if I want to apply to this position. While waiting for the offer, I was informed that the decision was reversed, with the reason cited as not being a "cultural fit".
The latter part of the application process was quite unprofessional with little regard to candidates time.

Question 1
How would you structure a project that needs a API and a database?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Ireckonu in May 2023
Interview
Probably one of the weirdest interview process I've been through. They are looking for a mostly backend developer that can jump on the frontend every once in a while (70-30 according to them, they even put you get extra/brownie points for the javascript/html/css/angular knowledge in the vacancy description) but the technical interview is with the front end team lead so the whole thing works as an interview for a front end developer position. The questions were kinda open ended and they expect you to have knowledge in the exact things they work with on the frontend which a full stack or a backend wouldn't normally know that deep. They don't seem to know what they are looking for and are probably missing a lot of good candidates with this format.

Question 1
How would you make an skinnable multi tenant application? (It wasn't with these words but they were looking for that)
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Ireckonu (Amsterdam) in Dec 2022
Interview
The interview process was standard, with a few interviews and the final interview on site. Unfortunately I had to follow up the entire time, they took me through the entire process and then after more than 2 weeks after following up again they said I was unsuccessful. What a waste of time
