Front End Engineer Interview Experience - Seattle, Washington

February 1, 2024

Positive ExperienceGot Offer

Process

Had a quick 30-minute video chat with a front-end engineer and the hiring manager.

We mostly walked through my resume, recent projects, tech stack, and why I'm interested in Oracle.

There were a few light JavaScript/React questions, some discussion about async/promises and UI performance, plus one scenario about debugging a slow page.

No live coding occurred; it was more conversational and focused on how I approach problems and communicate with teammates.

Questions

How does the JavaScript event loop schedule microtasks versus macrotasks?

Why does a Promise callback run before setTimeout(..., 0)?

Also, how would you keep a React UI responsive during a long API request?

Was this helpful?
