Senior Frontend Engineer Interview Experience - London, United Kingdom
Process
I applied through a recruiter.
There was a call with a technically skilled and competent recruiter. I was impressed. Next was a call with a product owner and a lead engineer. It was a well-structured interview with good interview questions. They also answered all my questions, and they were fun people.
There was a surprisingly difficult homework assignment. I spent five hours on an MVP and could have spent fifty more if I wanted. I received an invitation to discuss my submitted solution, but in the meantime I got another offer, which I accepted. I learned a lot during this fun and challenging interview and will put it to use in my own interviews.
