Frontend Engineer Interview Experience - Sydney, Australia

Process

I applied through their website. A few days later, I received an email from one of their recruiters and the interview process began:

  • Initial call with the recruiter
  • Browser coding interview: build a navigation tree
  • JavaScript coding interview: build a feature flag library
  • System design interview: basically the active sprint view of JIRA

[A bit of waiting here because they need to match you with a team that needs someone with your skill level and interests.]

  • Values: go through each of the company values and discuss your past experiences and what you have learned from your mistakes.
  • Management: similar to the values interview, but more free-flowing. You meet your future team lead here.

There were also three prep meetings with the recruiter: one before the coding interviews, one before the system design interview, and one before the values and management interviews.

One thing they seemed to have stopped doing since some reviews were posted here is asking LeetCode-style questions. All the coding round questions were very practical, reflecting tasks done on a day-to-day basis.

The whole process took me a bit more than two months, but I think that was mostly due to it being the end of the year.

Questions

Nothing particularly difficult or noteworthy in the coding interviews.

The system design interview requires carefulness. If you mention something that you're not actually very familiar with, chances are, they'll pick up on it and grill you. There's not enough time to talk about absolutely everything about building an application in one hour, so maybe focus on what you're good at first.

For the values and management interviews, just make sure you prepare examples where you were challenged or had a difficult time. My mistake was that all my examples were too positive, so when they asked for a more negative example, I couldn't think of one on the spot that I can demonstrate learning from.
