Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked me to implement a calendar component in React Native. The goal was to create a user-friendly interface that allows users to select dates, view events, and navigate between months smoothly. I explained how I would use existing libraries like react-native-calendars for quick setup or build a custom calendar using FlatList and state management to handle date selection and rendering efficiently.
I applied online. I interviewed at Sezzle in Jan 2026
Interview
The process started with an online Wonderlic test followed by a three step Codility challenge. The tasks involved basic Express endpoints, a React debouncer, and a mid-level SQL query. An AI assistant was available for questions, making the challenge manageable. Results were provided immediately, and I scored 100%.
The interviewer mostly reading questions while an AI monitored responses, which made the interaction feel less personal.
I later received a rejection email without feedback.
The entire process is as exactly how they say it is there were no surprises. It as also quite short compared to other companies, definetely on the easier side of things.

Question 1
Previous work questions, like what I've done, what obstacles I've faced, how I solved them etc.
Primero se realiza una entrevista con el equipo de Recursos Humanos para validar la experiencia y el interés en el rol. Durante esta etapa también hacen algunas preguntas en inglés para evaluar el nivel del idioma, ya que es un requisito del puesto.
El siguiente paso consiste en una serie de assessments lógicos y técnicos. En mi caso, al postular a un rol Full Stack, respondí preguntas en una plataforma en línea sobre backend, frontend y SQL.
No fui seleccionado en el proceso, por lo que desconozco qué etapas siguen después de esa evaluación.

En la entrevista técnica tuve que desarrollar una pequeña API que filtrara ciertos resultados. En la parte del frontend, utilizando React, realicé una llamada a un endpoint para mostrar y filtrar dicha información.
