Front End Engineer Interview Experience

April 1, 2014

Process

The process began via a phone call from a recruiter. The recruiter took down a few biographical details, including education and work history, and then promised a follow-up soon. I was sent a coding puzzle, which I completed in a couple of days and sent back. A few days later, I confirmed a phone interview via email.

A week after the phone interview, the recruiter called back and told me they'd like to bring me on-site for one of their "university days." This event included a bunch of back-to-back interviews, each about 45 minutes long, followed by lunch and a tour. (The number of interviews varies; I had three.)

About a week after that, I was informed of my final result via email. It's possible the recruitment team could have worked faster; I just decided to play it slow and make more deliberate moves.

Questions

The most difficult question was the initial puzzle, which is a sizable project.

The phone interview was mainly focused on JavaScript DOM tree manipulation.

On-site questions included:

  • A few quick algorithms questions (e.g., flatten an array).
  • Design and code a poll widget.

All of the questions were heavy on JavaScript, which is expected for this position.
