Associate Web Developer Interview Experience - United States
Process
I was recruited via LinkedIn.
First, I had a call with a recruiter.
Then, a technical interview with a web developer on the phone where we talked shop and they asked basic quiz-like questions (box model, accessibility, semantics, JS quirks, etc.).
Next, two 45-minute phone interviews with code tests on CollabEdit:
- One was pure JavaScript-based (problem-solving, not computer science/algorithm stuff, though recursion was necessary).
- The other was an HTML/CSS one where you get a picture of a module/component and you code what you see.
Finally, an onsite interview which consisted of four whiteboard interviews, mostly hybrid HTML/CSS/JS interviews, and a lunch interview with a director of web development.
It's nice to have an interview process where someone who knows front-end development will succeed, over another stereotypical algorithms whiteboard thing where anyone besides a recent CS grad who studied Gayle's book would be disadvantaged.

LinkedIn Work Experiences
- 5.0Intelligent and super supportive coworkers. Fun to the max. Great food and cultureAssociate Web Developer • Current EmployeeMountain View, California, United StatesNovember 11, 2013Pros: LinkedIn is the best company I've ever worked for. The kitchen is amazing: gourmet, health-conscious, environmentally friendly, organic food with breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The health and wellness class options are great, and there's a good gym. But it's the people I want to emphasize. The CEO helps spread the culture; he emphasizes culture. The people you work with are always having fun and are super supportive. Everyone acknowledges everyone else for their hard work. I see promotions all the time. There are lots of public thank you emails. The feeling of inspiration, fun, motivation, hard work, and intelligence is very viral. My friends are completely jealous, but I'm even more jealous of the interns that get to work here. ;)Cons: It's really big, and I can't get to know everyone. You're in so many teams at once, and it can get confusing, but you get to go to all the offsites for each team!
- 5.0Amazing culture, awesome food, great inviting work environmentAssociate Web Developer • Current EmployeeMountain View, California, United StatesNovember 11, 2013Pros: The company culture here is wonderful. Everyone is so open and inviting – I haven't met someone I haven't liked! The food is great (brand new cafe!) and the work environment is very chill. All in all, a great place to work.Cons: All of the usual things with working with a larger company. Despite the effort made to keep running like a startup, there is some overhead and bureaucracy, but much less than other companies.
- 5.0This place is awesomeAssociate Web Developer • Current EmployeeMountain View, California, United StatesOctober 9, 2013Pros: A big enough company where you aren't under too much pressure, but small enough where your work is meaningful. Overall, a fun, challenging, and engaging place to work.Cons: Hmm, I could do with some napping pods.
