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.

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.

Question 1
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?

J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 2 mois. J'ai passé un entretien chez Semrush (Belgrade) en oct. 2024
Entretien
I applied in September, HR reached out to me only after ~30 days in October, after that I was waiting for tech interview for another 3 weeks. The tech interview went well, I had a good conversation with the interviewer and answered almost all questions.
After tech interview they promised to get back to me in 3-5 days, i didn't happen. After 2 weeks I send a followup email, trying to get some info from Semrush HR, and she replied to me after another two weeks.
In general interview process was nice, but timings are terrible.

Question 1
How to write down a function in JS which will send API call and cancel it if it didn't finish in 5 sec.
Dear Sender,
Thank you for sharing your review. We completely agree—the timing is off and, honestly, it doesn’t align with our internal processes. We’ll discuss this internally and work on improving the situation.
Yours, the Semrush Team
