Junior Front End Developer Interview Experience - Irvine, California
Process
I went through two phone screenings and then a technical phone screen before I was rejected. Everyone was very friendly and responsive to emails.
For the technical phone screen, I was asked to create a UI using pseudocode on codeshare.io, which was abnormal for me as I'm used to programming with an IDE and testing my code as I go.
I believe I was rejected on the basis that I was shaky on my React syntax, which is unfortunate because I feel like I wasn't capable of showing off my skill set appropriately given the environment.
