June 1, 2019
Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Interviewing for a frontend position.

The process included one phone screen, followed by an on-site interview.

It was a pretty pleasant experience, though I didn't bring my A-game.

The phone screen was pretty easy.

The on-site consisted of three technical rounds:

  • One round was a little annoying, as the interviewer pushed me towards a solution that wasn't my own, but I apparently received good feedback from that round.
  • One system design round.
  • One behavioral/system design round.
  • One behavioral round.

I flopped on the system design question and was encouraged to reapply in a year.

I'm disappointed with how I performed, but it was a good experience.
