Experience:

This experience provides an overview of the QuickSell interview process for both Frontend and Backend Engineer roles, likely for candidates from IIT Goa.

Frontend Engineer Process:

Round 1 (Task Round): The first round involved a task with a deadline of 24-48 hours, typically to build a dashboard using React or other frontend technologies. The task needed to be completed thoroughly, including proper design and deployment (e.g., on Netlify or Vercel). Shortlisting for interviews was based on the quality of this submission.

Next Rounds (Technical): These rounds focused on Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA) and JavaScript concepts. Interviewers might present JavaScript code and ask for manipulation or explain concepts like React state management, hooks, and why React gained popularity (e.g., for single-page loading). Candidates should be prepared for cross-questions on their projects, including specific code parts and design decisions. There are typically two technical rounds: one with a Senior Frontend Engineer and another with a Team Lead.

Backend Engineer Process:

Online Assessment: This round included JavaScript-related questions and code scripts.

Technical Rounds: Candidates need to have clear basic concepts for backend, including Microservices. The interviewers might not go too deep but expect strong foundational knowledge.

Overall Tips: For both roles, strong basic concepts are crucial. Candidates should have a deep understanding of any projects they have worked on. The process might lead to an internship initially, followed by a PPO (Pre-Placement Offer).
