January 1, 2015
Positive ExperienceGot Offer

Process

Recruiter contacted me via LinkedIn.

1 phone interview with Architect. Mostly involved multiple programming questions and improving the solution as much as possible.

Got a response after 2 days for an onsite.

Onsite was 5 interviews with an architect, principal engineer, and senior engineers. Lunch with the hiring manager.

All the interviews were very good, and very intelligent people talking straight about coding. No irrelevant questions at all.

They tested algorithm and programming skills.

After 3 days on the onsite, got an offer.

Questions

Most of the interviews were about algorithms and programming in both JavaScript and Java. They did let me know upfront the language they wanted me to code in. One interviewer asked mostly about system design and architecture for a web application, with brief coding on each aspect of the application.
