Process
It was a long process. I spoke with a recruiter for one hour and then chatted with a couple of front-end developers for another hour. The next day, I was contacted to come back in the following week for a three-to-four-hour interview:
- Technical life story (one hour)
- Problem-solving (one hour)
- Pair programming (approximately 1.5 hours)
I was never asked for a resume or references.
