Senior Web Developer Interview Experience - Fort Washington, Pennsylvania
Process
The process began with a phone screen, followed by a coding challenge.
Next, I had an on-site interview with a panel that included:
- The department head
- A back-end programmer
- A front-end developer
During this interview, I had to describe my coding challenge solution in detail, explain my thinking process, and discuss alternate approaches.
I must say it was one of the most enjoyable interviews I have ever had. Everyone was friendly and encouraging, and the camaraderie was palpable.
Questions
They gave me a problem to solve that ultimately had no solution. They wanted to see how I approached the problem rather than getting a correct answer.
