Frontend Engineer Interview Experience - Sydney, Australia

November 1, 2022
Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The process contained three sessions.

It started with a recruiter call via Zoom. The recruiter introduced the company and themselves. A pop-up quiz on JavaScript followed. The questions were easy and fundamental, but you still need solid JavaScript knowledge. As someone mentioned, "You Don't Know JavaScript" should be adequate for this stage. I was a little confused at first because the email didn't mention anything about the pop-up quiz.

The second interview was a paired coding session conducted via Zoom with screen sharing. The interviewer asked me to fetch data with a mockup API and organize it. A further question involved getting data from a nested object. I was not able to complete the code due to time limitations, but I explained the logic. That was the only part I did not finish. They contacted me the next day to inform me that I had failed the interview. I appreciated the fast feedback, and the interviewer was nice and kind.

If you pass the second stage, there should be a three-hour coding interview and a behavioral test ahead.

To be honest, I don't quite understand what a qualified candidate for them is like. I saw a post on Glassdoor with almost the same experience, and I am truly curious.
