Frontend Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California

Process

I applied on LinkedIn, and the recruiter reached out about a week later to schedule a call.

After that, there was a 45-minute interview with the Director of Engineering, which went well. He told me they would move me forward.

Following that was a 1.5-hour HackerRank challenge. It took more than a week for them to get back (holidays?). I was lucky to be approved, considering I only nailed one out of two questions.

Then, the virtual onsite was a 2-hour-long, 30-minute each, no-coding Google Meet session. This was more on the informal side, but one interview was more technical than the other, so prepare for that!

Questions

Study JavaScript concepts thoroughly, including Immediately Invoked Functions, custom events, and accessibility.
