Remitly Frontend Engineer interview with a timed Canditech assessment

The process started with a recruiter screen, followed by a timed assessment on Canditech that lasted about an hour. The structure was rigid. Each section had its own time limit, and once I finished one, I couldn't return to it. There was no way to practice or get familiar with the platform beforehand, which made the pacing more stressful.

I got thrown off immediately because I initially saw only one question on the page and moved through it quickly, leaving extra time on the clock. I spent that time double-checking and trying to work out what I might be missing. Near the end, I realized there were additional questions farther down that I hadn't noticed. By then, there wasn't enough time to answer everything properly.

I didn't pass. A separate experience with the same type of assessment also showed me how much the framework-specific questions mattered, and how a coding prompt could feel unclear and harder than similar problems I'd done elsewhere. My overall impression was that the timed format and tooling expectations carried much of the weight, more than the interviews themselves.

Location: Tel Aviv-Yafo. Overall feedback: Neutral. Offer status: No offer.
