Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Mountain View, California

September 11, 2024
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied online. The process took four weeks.

The HR round and initial hiring manager screen went really well. I had two rounds of on-site interviews with engineers in India, but I am located in Mountain View, California. Throughout the interview, I had a feeling that the interviewers had an ego boost while interviewing. I applied for a front-end engineer role, and probably the questions they asked were related to core building fundamentals of React, to which you can find answers only in extreme depths of React documentation. An interview is always a two-way process. By conducting interviews with ego, you just lose good engineers sometimes.

Questions

  1. Extremely difficult React fundamentals, the data structure of a React DOM, and the approach to loop through the DOM.
  2. Facebook infinite scroll
