      Node Js Developer Interview

      Dec 27, 2019
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Seattle, WA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at balena (Seattle, WA) in Nov 2019

      Interview

      After several weeks after I applied, I was contacted by email with a take-home assignment. They wanted me to build a IoT monitoring system in 3-4 hours, which is frankly unrealistic. I went ahead and spend the time on what I think it was a pretty good job. They never acknowledged receipt and after more than one week they replied with a rude template-email telling me that I just did not have the skills required for the job . Which I strongly disagree. I regret not reading the interview reviews before and skipping this company all together, since in my opinion they have a Lazy, Abusive and Obtuse recruiting process. Please don't waste your time with a company that doesn't want to spend a single minute talking to you.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Take-home assignment of a full blown IoT system, probably expecting you to use RabbitMQ or similar, including Docker deployment. Expected to be done in 3-4 hrs.
