Senior UI Developer Interview Experience - Toronto, Canada

Process

The process was divided into 2 steps.

The first step was a one-hour interview with the recruiter, and the second step was two 1-hour and 15-minute pair programming sessions.

I was promised that the result would be communicated within a few days, but I did not hear back for almost two weeks. I had to contact the recruiter to find out.

It's quite cool with the pair programming concept, as it's not like the usual technical interview. However, on my sessions, I wasn't asked about why I chose to do what I did when solving the problems.

Especially for a senior role, which to me is all about the reasoning behind certain choices in problem-solving, I found it rather strange. And while I appreciate the feedback, I can't help thinking that, based on the feedback, they are really looking for a coder instead of an engineer.

Thank you for the opportunity!
