Asper AI interview questions

I recently went through three rounds of interviews. The first two rounds focused primarily on the fundamentals of React, JavaScript, and key concepts in HTML and CSS. Both were fairly straightforward and tested core technical understanding. The third round involved a high-level system design discussion. The scenario presented was a dynamic dashboard containing multiple widgets arranged differently for each user. I was asked how I would design the configuration for such a system, define the JSON structure for widget management, and handle 50+ API calls efficiently — including strategies for optimizing API requests and managing data flow.

My experience with Asper was quite disappointing and reflects a lack of professionalism and transparency in their hiring process. Despite multiple conversations and clearly communicating my compensation expectations from the very beginning — including during face-to-face meetings and follow-up emails — the team failed to disclose their actual budget until much later in the process. I was told compensation wouldn’t be a constraint for the right candidate, only to later learn that the offer being considered was significantly below what was initially implied. While I appreciated being considered through a referral, the overall experience with Asper left me feeling undervalued and misled. I hope they take steps to be more transparent and respectful in their future hiring processes.
