Frontend Engineer Interview Experience - San Jose, California
Process
Horrible experience. The tech screen consists of two LeetCode Medium problems on HackerRank, which are expected to be completed in 45 minutes.
The interviewer rushed through the problem statement and was completely disengaged; they almost seemed like they were doing work on another monitor as I worked on the problems. The interviewer was not interested in collaborating on the problems at all and made me feel like I was wasting their time.
I ended up completing the first question but did not have nearly enough time to even start on the second question.
It was a bad enough experience for me to blacklist Patreon as a company to work for in the future if this was any indication of what it's like to work with their engineers. I would stay away.
