June 6, 2025
Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

A phone screen with a recruiter.

Then, a video interview with two engineers where they asked about what I do in my current role, a series of quiz-style questions, and two coding challenges.

Questions

Describe an architectural decision you made in your current role. What would you have done differently?

  • A softball coding question.
  • A trickier coding question involving promises in two stages. The interviewer didn't really seem to understand the question themselves, and things got a little awkward.
