The interview process was very quick for me.

It started with a long conversation with a recruiter.

This was followed by a long behavioral interview with a UI manager.

Then came the take-home test.

Finally, the onsite virtual interviews included:

• 1 coding interview
• 1 take-home test review
• 2 behavioral interviews

I found the interviews quite easy because I had prepared. I did not do any coding practice, but I spent a lot of time on javascript.info to help me recall all my JS fundamentals. I would advise anyone to do the same because it was easy BECAUSE I refreshed those concepts.

Overall, I liked the process. After the onsite, the UI manager, with whom I developed a really great relationship, scheduled a call with me to give me a one-hour feedback rundown. (I personally would have preferred my recruiter to deliver the not-so-great news because I had my hopes up, lol.)

Basically, they found my solution to be very encapsulated and hard to understand, and they said I need some experience with bigger companies.

I don't take it as a failure because I am now super confident that I can solve anything coming my way, and the right company for me will hire me. I gained so much from the behavioral conversations; those were a no-brainer.

STUDY THE CULTURE MEMO (I can't stress this enough) and be relaxed. They are not there to trick you or anything like that.

Expect a lot of behavioral questions.

Study the culture memo. Take notes if necessary, expand on it in your own words, and be ready to have a thorough conversation about it. I spent about 30-45 minutes more each time because of this. It was interesting.

The coding part was trivial array manipulation and JavaScript fundamentals (DOM manipulation specifically). There were no LeetCode-type questions.
