Senior Frontend Developer Interview Experience - Sydney, Australia
July 1, 2021
Positive ExperienceNo Offer
Process
The interview consists of three phases:
- Initial interview with the Recruiter
- 45-minute technical interview
- Three 45-minute technical interviews plus one 45-minute value interview
I failed on the third phase and was given feedback. Even though the feedback was overall positive in all technical assessments, there was something I was lacking.
If you are the next candidate:
- Just don't get nervous; I think it shouldn't be that hard.
- Also, do not get too focused on the technical questions either.
Good luck!

Supportive colleagues and good pay, but opaque decision-making
Senior Frontend Developer • Former Employee

Pros: Nice people, good comp, good job stability, and a cool product that other people will know about. You can get by with relatively low effort if that's what you're into.
Cons: Often, there is a large disconnect between doing the right thing and doing the "get promoted" thing. High-level decision-making is very opaque to all but the most senior staff. Doomed or failed projects continue to be kept alive long after they should have been scrapped, and if you end up working on these, it is very sad.
