Tips before you start
- Each round is usually a different day. Use the gap to fix what went wrong last time.
- Vanilla JS matters as much as React here.
- Reaching for a framework when plain JS was asked is a red flag.
- Know why you want CRED specifically. Generic fintech answers do not land.
- Expand each question below for what the interviewer is testing, how to answer, code, and references.

Technical
90 min3/5Projects deep dive: what you built, why, and what you would change
Event bubbling vs event delegation, when does each matter?
defer vs async, which one blocks HTML parsing?
Why does CSS block rendering if it is not JavaScript?
Write debounce from scratch, then make it cancellable
Show a closure that leaks memory, then fix it
Overall experience
A depth-first CRED loop: one technical round, two machine-coding rounds (vanilla JS, then React), and a cultural-fit round with the Tech Lead who reads back feedback from every prior round. Vanilla JS carries as much weight as React. State design is the real test in the React round. Know why you want CRED specifically. Role: Frontend Developer. Location: Bangalore. Compensation: 28 LPA. Format: Onsite loop. Compiled from publicly reported frontend interview patterns. May vary by team and interviewer.
