Front End Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
The interview process consists of a few stages.
Initially, a senior recruiter will have a chat with you to get to know you. If the recruiter is satisfied with your personality, you will be given a take-home challenge. You are allowed a few days to complete this. Usually, this challenge is based on a technology related to their product. The code needs to be production-ready and perfect.
Once you submit the developed tool or application, the engineering team will review it and get back to you. If they are satisfied, you will have to face another interview with two engineers. This is a technical interview where they will question the approach you followed in completing the take-home challenge. They will also ask you to extend your code and pose several technical questions.
The next steps do not have a firm flow. Depending on your performance in the technical interview, you might be asked to solve a challenge with the team, face another technical interview, and finally, have a chat with the decision-makers.

Mainly remote work, but I guess that's becoming an industry standard. Huge internal codebase can be overwhelming.
