Senior Front End Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California

May 1, 2019
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The process began with a recruiter interview, followed by a technical phone screen with a Flexport engineer. The interviewer was late and experienced significant background noise. He also took another 2-3 minutes to switch rooms after I mentioned I couldn't hear him properly.

The question was a simple JavaScript exercise that I solved using ReactJS and completed on time with the expected output. Despite this, I received a rejection.

I didn't get a good vibe from the interviewer while I was solving the problem, and there was no clear communication regarding the expected end result.

When I inquired about the company culture at the end of the interview, I did not receive a positive or welcoming answer. It seemed as though the interviewer was only working at Flexport out of necessity.

The company appears to be doing well, but its culture does not seem great.

Questions

Simple JS exercise with any JS framework of choice.

Be prepared with basic async functions and eventType names in JS.
