Give a simple JavaScript library that hashes some values to de-identify data. They ask you to fix the bugs and complete features. It is not clear what they evaluate you against. The interviewer pointed to a "bug" in the test because a serialized date was not well-formed. This was very clunky. I had to use JavaScript because of their limited language choice. My guess is that the engineer interviewing me did not like I did not seem fluent in JavaScript.

I don't want to share interview questions, I think the company deserves to see how people react to questions without preparation if that's what they are looking for. If you need prep time, they will share ahead of the interview.

Mostly from the resume. Technical interviewers are more interested on getting details on how to apply those in their area more than evaluating the candidate. Some of the interviewers were rude. Spent nearly a day for the interviews. No response after the process for more than a week!. They didn't even sent a feedback mail!... After I followed up 2 weeks later, online application updated!
