Process
I applied online. The process took four weeks.
- Initial phone screening: They ask basic questions about what technologies you have used.
- Take-home code test: You are tasked to build a basic web app using a mock API.
- Code review: This follows the code test, where they will ask you questions about your implementation and how you would improve it.
They are expecting very specific answers to questions like, "How would you improve your application for power users?" The phrasing is a little awkward, and I struggled to get to the exact answer the interviewer was looking for, which is unfortunately the reason I did not proceed to get a face-to-face interview. The communication from the hiring team is overall pretty positive; however, replies could be more prompt.
