Full Stack Software Engineer Interview Experience - Palo Alto, California
Process
I saw the job on their HackerRank page. There was a coding challenge with two DS/Algo questions. I finished that and received a call from the hiring team.
On the phone, they informed me that the coding challenge had one more question, which was missing from the initial challenge, and therefore I had to complete this front-end coding challenge as well.
I found this unprofessional because they never mentioned this requirement on their website or in the job description. Very unprofessional!
Questions
LeetCode medium/hard
Front-end coding challenge (JavaScript + AJAX)
