Senior Front-End Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
The overall process was what seems to be rather standard among tech companies:
- A quick phone call with the recruiter.
- A take-home assignment (frontend-related).
- A full-day on-site interview (one frontend-related coding session, one straightforward algorithmic coding session, one architecture session, and a chat with the manager).
- Another half-day on-site interview (non-technical).
Questions
Everything they asked was very relevant to the position I was applying for.
The frontend coding session was about implementing a UI component, and the architecture session was me breaking a mockup of a web page into multiple components and describing their inputs and internal states.
