Software Engineer - Front End Interview Experience - San Jose, California

August 1, 2019
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

A recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn and presented a front-end engineering opportunity with high-level details on what they were looking to fill.

My first interview was a video call with someone, supposedly an engineer, approaching a problem on CoderPad. I honestly felt the question wasn't all that hard, but the interviewer kept assuming I was trying to cheat because I was "looking" away from the screen. In reality, I had two monitors with the problem on one screen and the browser on the other.

He kept saying, "Please look into the camera and talk," which made me super uncomfortable. It was unfortunately not the best interview experience I've had.

Questions

const arrInput = [1, 4, 6, 8, 9, 10]; const result = 6; // 25; // 24;

// Example calculations: // 8 * 1 = 8 < 24 // 8 * 4 = 24 == 24 // 8 * 9 // 8 * 10

// Find a pair whose multiplication is x * y = result. // The function should take two parameters: // - arr: the array of numbers (arrInput) // - result: the target number
