J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 2 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Pencil en mars 2022
Entretien
First they sent me a quiz on the MEAN stack which was 80% Angular. Then there was a take-home programming assignment to create a MongoDB and NodeJS API endpoint to query questions pertaining to specific topics. The time limit was 4 days.
The example output in the assignment pertained to Physics but the data they provided pertained to Biology so I didn't know what the correct output was. I asked the e-mailer about this and they said they'd talk to their team and get back to me. I never got a response so I submitted my solution to not breach the deadline.
I hosted the API on my desktop and gave them an IP they could use to reach it as well as the GIT repo link to my code. In the 10+ days I kept the API running, not once did I see an IP hit the endpoint which tells me they didn't even test my API.
