The interview wasn't hard or easy, I'd say average. From the technical questions:
1. How browser renders the content
2. How React works
3. What is load balancer
The technical task was to review React code, to find mistakes, fix them and explain
I was an online interview. There was a few questions and a couple of live coding tasks. For me it looked pretty difficult but pleasant. The interviewer was polite and asked interesting questions. I felt nervous but also feel support and empathy.

Me postulé en línea. El proceso tomó 3 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Semrush en mar 2025
Entrevista
1. The HR interview went smoothly – just the usual talk about expectations from both sides.
2. The technical interview lasted around 2 hours with two engineers in a live coding session. Covered some simple algorithms, performance-related questions, React, TypeScript, CSS… Overall, a pleasant and respectful conversation with both of them.
3. Finally, they invited me to the so-called “team meeting,” which was supposed to be the last step of the process. Then HR emailed me twice over two weeks to set the date, only to send a third email saying they had decided not to move forward with my application because the engineers "reconsidered." 😂 So they invited me to the final step… then changed their minds. Honestly, a bit ridiculous.
- Conclusion: Don’t waste your time, and definitely don’t be desperate – if they treat candidates like this, imagine what the actual work environment is like. Maybe God saved me, who knows. Hope this helps someone avoid the same experience.

They usually share a piece of code for you to review, fix, or improve, and then you discuss your approach together. For example: 'What’s wrong with this React code?' or 'How would you filter elements that appear in both arrays to return the union of numbers?
