The interview process began with a take-home API coding challenge.
The next round included JavaScript questions covering topics such as prototypes, caching, memoization, and the usage of 'this'. There was also a coding challenge, where my task was to merge two lists and refine the algorithm.
The final stage was System Design. Unfortunately, I did not make it past this part.
A few days later, the recruiter called to discuss feedback. I believe my nerves led me to jump into the system design section without asking enough clarifying questions.
It's remarkable that they actually entertain the idea of providing feedback; I don't know another company that does this.
The recruiter mentioned that they often re-evaluate candidates after 12-14 months. However, due to my strong performance in the other areas, they would consider me again in another 10-12 months. Better than nothing, I suppose.
Overall, it was a good experience.
Merge two lists to the n'th item. Implement a function that adds commas between each character in a string, then do it by extending its prototype. Design a reusable component.
