Process
I spoke with a technical recruiter first. They were accommodating when I let them know I was in the interview process with other companies, and they sped up the process.
The second round was an hour-long technical exercise focused on building a component using React.
The virtual onsite was one day:
- First, I spoke with a head of engineering about values.
- Then, I completed an extensive technical exercise.
Questions
I signed an NDA, so I can't give anything too particular.
However, deep knowledge of industry-standard React practices will get you far in the frontend interview process.
