Web Developer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California

August 1, 2016
Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Applied through a referral.

A recruiter reached out to me and set up a phone screen, which I chose to do onsite.

This consisted of 2 interviews, 1 hour each. One involved fetching some data from a server and creating some DOM based on a spec; the other involved creating a pixel-perfect UI based on a spec.

I came back for a full onsite a few days later. Met with lots of people in a 1:1 setting. Treated to lunch, several behavioral/culture-fit interviews, and a couple more technicals very similar to the first round. Most of the interviewers were pretty nice (one was quite weird), and I enjoyed the experience.

Cons: I wish the interview panel was more diverse. The majority was young white males. Also, I did get the impression that the company is experiencing growing pains, as others have noted on here.

I didn't hear back for a few days. I followed up with the recruiter, who let me know they weren't moving forward. She couldn't give feedback. Minor bummer, but it worked out in the end.

Questions

Recreate a UI using HTML/CSS as exactly as possible, given a spec.
