Process
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks.
Interviewed with Pigment early this summer, the team was very professional and organized, from the recruiter to the engineers I met with.
The process is 5 steps:
- Recruiter call
- Refactoring exercise with an engineer
- 90 minutes live coding (frontend) with engineers
- System design
- A final call with a manager/CTO
I failed the live coding interview, make sure you are very comfortable writing frontend code, whatever stack you choose. You will be required to code by hand and develop multiple features, but nothing crazy.
I would say it is about average in difficulty, I came with an assumption that turned out wrong and messed up everything for me. Even though I was able to complete the whole exercise, I did not pass as they thought I needed some hand holding. They care about functionality more than HTML/CSS or optimal TypeScript code.
Questions
- Recruiter call (why pigments? etc.)
- Refactor exercise - similar to Gilda rose kata
- 90 minutes live coding (React / TS)
