December 1, 2020

Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I received a take-home project to build a React front-end that rendered a list of items from an API, followed by two technical interviews. One was talking through the take-home project. The second covered some basic coding challenges and a higher-level product design question. The next stage was an interview with the hiring manager (didn't make it to this stage).
