Senior Frontend Engineer Interview Experience - United States

Process

A very typical process:

  • Recruiter
  • Coding challenge
  • Another coding challenge
  • Systems design
  • Behavioral

As with most companies these days, if you fail a pop-quiz-style coding session, they assume you're no good. This is regardless of what the job description asks for or what actual relevant knowledge and experience you would bring.

The coding pop quiz didn't feel like it had anything to do with the team's actual work or what they care about.

I didn't pass the pop quiz, but honestly, based on Glassdoor company reviews, I didn't think I would want to work there anyway. Still, I figured a practice interview would be good.

I'm paying this forward by sharing question details here, so someone can get past that silly and unnecessary gate and get to talk about what you actually know, are skilled in, and what you can bring to the table. Certainly, being able to code a Google Calendar is not what they actually need.

Questions

Write a calendar with overlaying events from scratch. It should have one column with hour markers and another column with events spanning these hours.

Add an input fields panel. The user should be able to create, edit, or delete these events.

Clicking on any event should autofill the inputs and allow for editing.

All this within a 45-minute timeframe. Good luck!
