I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Clear Street in Nov 2024
Interview
Round 1: Basic JavaScript and React.js questions that you can easily find online (e.g., "Top 30 JavaScript or React questions"). Additionally, there was one easy DSA problem to calculate the maximum profit with buy and sell. I solved all the questions.
Round 2: A simple memory card game task involving six shuffled cards. If the same card is opened twice, it stays open; otherwise, unmatched cards close. I successfully implemented the solution.
It was one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had. Despite answering all the questions and solving all the problems, it wasn’t enough to move to the next step. I’ll never reapply to this so-called company again.
