I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Hola (Cape Town) in Feb 2016
Interview
Terrible Interviewer. Very tied up in his idea of how one should code.
Interview was specifically around javascript, yet the interview doesn't know the behaviour of javascript in a browser. His actual words are "if you index a string with a index larger than the string, it will return 0". This is incorrect. It will return the js constant "undefined" as anybody can open dev tools in a browser, type in var s='abc' and then s[4] to see that the result is undefined and definitely not "0"
The interviewer was also rude as he was constantly typing and doing other things. I had to call him multiple times to ask for clarification or to let him know I'm done.
