I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Headout (Bangalore Rural) in Jun 2025
Interview
it was mainly a frontend-focused React Native interview.
Based on my current project, they asked about the HLLD of how CodePush OTA updates work.
Then there was one machine coding question. I made some mistakes because I was under pressure and not fully prepared, as this was my first interview after almost 3 years.
They asked me to create a component that takes OTA updates as input.
