It was a Hatchways coding interview. Had 24 hours to complete the assignment and submit a pull request. Had to create a script that pulled data from a local backend and return the "top workers".

The interview process included two take home exercises and three rounds of interviews. The first exercise was javascript/nextjs specific, and the first interview included a live coding session building off the exercise. After passing the first interview, I received a second coding exercise that was frontend specific, followed by an additional interview and another live coding session. These interviews included questions about my technical experience and background and what I was looking for in an employer.
The final interview round was with the Chief Product Officer and had more in-depth questions including a live show-and-tell of a previous project I had worked on. Throughout the process the recruiter was very quick and responsive.

Initially gave a take-home assessment, which was pretty simple (had to look at the API and make a network call to get the data, and show the top 3 results that satisfied a criteria). After submitting that, there was a follow-up interview where one of the engineers helps go over the codebase to ensure you have a good understanding of the code that was written. There were some errors in the code they provided, which were intentional. During the interview, you'll also be shown that the results aren't accurate (due to the bug they put in), and they ask you to debug it. Finally, you'll be asked for optimizations that could be made in your original code (if it wasn't optimal).
Although they do let candidates to use AI during the assessment, they're pretty clear that they'll be questioning whether you understand the code that was generated as well, and that you aren't just relying on AI.

Pregunta 1
What optimizations could be made here (in the original solution I submitted)?
The results being shown are not correct as seen in the database, why do you think that could be happening (there was a bug that was intentionally placed in the codebase)?
