I applied online and was contacted within a couple of days by a recruiter. I had a short phone screen interview with them and was given the opportunity to interview with the hiring manager.

The hiring manager was polite and professional. They asked a few basic questions most developers should know.

I was then given a take-home coding challenge that was based around a problem the team (Hipchat) I was interviewing for would be tasked with. I was allowed to use any frameworks or tools that I thought would be useful to solve the problem. It was a fairly simple app that I completed over a weekend, but I took a week to submit it to make sure it was fully tested and that I didn't miss anything. I was not given a time limit.

The following week, the recruiter contacted me back and scheduled me for an in-person interview in Austin. They provided all accommodations and reimbursement for food and extra expenses, which was painless, and I was reimbursed within a few days of returning home.

Their offices were fantastic, and the view was amazing. I really enjoyed everyone there, and the overall atmosphere was pleasant.

I was sent an interview itinerary, which the team followed perfectly except for one absence. The interviews consisted of four 1-hour interviews. All of the interviewers seemed knowledgeable about their subjects and prepared. Most of the interview questions were not technical in nature but based around my past experiences at my past roles. There were lots of "tell me about a time when..." questions, not something you can really study for. Everyone seemed very relaxed, joked, and seemed genuinely happy, which is always reassuring. The most technical of these questions were when I was asked to whiteboard the frontend architecture at my current job and asked questions relevant to that.

My onsite was on a Friday, and the recruiter followed up with me the following Monday. They told me that they were interviewing the final candidate the following week and that I should hear back by the next week.

I was impressed with the overall experience and was glad to be given the opportunity. I felt like the whole process moved at exactly the pace I was comfortable with. I was told that I made it to the final round, but they ultimately decided to go with another candidate.

How would you change the reference of "this" within a function?
