Front End Developer Interview Experience - Richfield, Minnesota

August 1, 2012

Neutral ExperienceGot Offer

Process

With a group of others, take a short answer technical test. Wait for 2 months before getting a callback.

Accepted the offer and started. However, with the disconnected groups, it was a month before I had hardware and 6 months before I had complete access to the systems I needed.

Questions

Textbook-type question about semantic HTML. It wasn't really hard, but it was the type of question where you pause and try to remember the phrasing of a concept you've absorbed rather than described.
