A somewhat impromptu phone interview with a HR person who asked no technical questions, and was unable to answer any technical questions. The job as described by them turned out to sound far more junior for my experience level, which they asked was okay. I said it would be okay depending on all factor. I really just figured i might as well see what an offer looked like as far as money. I hadn't been asked to do anything time consuming yet and I've know companies to turn lesser job opening's into larger ones if the right person was available. I was told my resume would be passed on to the hiring manager.
I later received a message that they were declining to interview because they were looking for someone with more javascript experience. This seems a bit laughable considering my experience includes leading and managing ~20 full stack developers for projects far larger and more revenue generating then those of Ipro Tech. Also funny that i was never asked any technical questions. I would understand a rejection due to be over qualified, but feel it's a bit clear that someone involved in the hiring process is a bit under qualified.
This is apparently the level of JavaScript a lead developer produces in ipro tech's mind
if (val1 === null) {
if (typeof val2 === 'string' && val2.toLowerCase() === 'null') {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
The most junior developer i have would be embarrassed to write code like this. And if you're not sure what is bad about this just throw it into any good IDE and it will even be able to tell you.
