Senior Frontend Engineer Interview Experience - Washington, United States

Process

I applied for a position on LinkedIn and also messaged the recruiter directly. I received a prompt response indicating they would like to interview me, likely due to my message.

They sent a coding challenge through CodeSignal focused on algorithms. The challenge consisted of three questions with increasing difficulty. I completed and passed the first question, completed most tests for the second, and partially completed the third. Despite not fully completing the third question, I moved on to the final rounds of interviews, referred to as "Power Day."

I had four back-to-back interviews:

  • Architectural and Technical: The first was architectural and technical. The interviewer asked me to design a credit card information and application page, followed by a confirmation page. The interview was mainly conversational, though they provided a screen whiteboard for notes if needed.
  • Technical (Position Specific): The second interview was technical and specific to the position. It focused on a React project. The interviewer was interested in how I built components, my syntax, and my overall coding style. The project was straightforward and directly related to the position.
  • Behavioral: The third interview was behavioral. The interviewer initially had difficulty understanding my responses and repeated questions until they were clarified. The questions were quite monotonous and heavily focused on a single project from my past, which made the interview feel repetitive.
  • Case Study: The fourth interview was a case. It was slightly technical but did not involve actual coding. The scenario involved identifying a bug in a budgeting program developed by an intern. I had to find the bug in code written in one of several languages (Java, C++, Node.js, Python) without coding the solution.

They got back to me in less than 24 hours with feedback.
