Frontend Software Engineer Interview Experience - Sydney, Australia

August 1, 2020
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I started out with a timed challenge on HackerRank.

I was then invited for an initial conversation over Skype with their lead recruiter.

During the conversation, I was asked some JavaScript-related questions. I was then shown some code examples and had to explain what they did.

Despite building JavaScript applications for the past five years, I was unable to proceed further as I had never heard of or come across many of the functions used in the examples.

I understand it's an attempt to weed people out, but I bet they've lost a lot of potentially decent developers because of this. It by no means indicates my ability.

Questions

How would I go about sending 1,000 HTTP requests to the backend?

Describe the difference between var, let, and const.
