I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Pet Circle (Sydney) in Mar 2022
Interview
I was approached by the Recruiter on LinkedIn who took the time to actually review my profile and send me a personal message. He gave me a really good overview of the company and why he thought it would be a great fit for me. I was able to get an insight into the role and culture and it seemed like a really interesting company. From there, I met with two Tech Leads for a Zoom interview. This was technical with some whiteboarding and covered a few different topics. Feedback was super quick and I met with the VP Engineering a few days later for a final interview. References were online and the offer came out all within a week.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Pet Circle (Sydney) in Jul 2021
Interview
Ignored in last 10 minutes - said we were running out of time when I was on the last question
Questions were phrased as ‘create a reusable component for displaying products’ and I used a class, no issues or suggestions or doing it any other way were mentioned. The call was then cut short and I was told to stop the attempt.
Only until after the call was it mentioned by HR that my attempt was unsuccessful because I should have instead used a vanilla JavaScript function which just returns the properties in a string.
Made complaint to HR and to recruiter and heard nothing further back from pet circle
