Incubyte Interview Experience (React Craftperson)
Summary
I went through a multi-stage interview process for a React Craftperson role at Incubyte, which included a take-home project, several technical discussions, and a managerial round. Despite positive feedback in earlier stages, I was ultimately ghosted after the final round, which I found to be unprofessional.
Full Experience
My interview journey with Incubyte for a React Craftperson position began with a screening round. For this, I was tasked with a take-home project: developing a String Calculator application, emphasizing Test Driven Development (TDD). I successfully cleared this stage.
Following the screening, I proceeded to Level 1, a technical round conducted by an outsourced agency. This round focused on the basics of technologies I knew, such as React, Angular, Vue, JavaScript, and TypeScript, along with some fundamental HTML, CSS, and database questions.
Level 2 was another technical round, which went smoothly. Here, we delved into discussions about my previous projects. I was also asked intermediate questions on the topics covered in the prior round. A key part of this round involved adding a new feature to the String Calculator project I had developed in the screening round. Additionally, there were questions on design principles, behavioral aspects, more in-depth database queries where I had to form specific queries, and backend questions, specifically regarding how to manage tokens and sessions.
Finally, I moved to Level 3, which was meant to be a managerial and cultural fit round. However, after this stage, I was unfortunately ghosted, receiving no further discussions or updates. I found this to be quite unprofessional and a waste of my time. My overall verdict is that one might consider applying if they're looking for mock interview experience, as I'm unsure what Incubyte truly seeks in a candidate.
