Front End Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
First, a huge take-home assignment, then a code review of the take-home assignment, and then an on-site with 4 interviews.
All interviewers were very friendly, and I had great conversations with them.
However, their offered compensation was lower than I'm earning right now, so I had to decline the offer. I was very surprised to see the numbers, actually. I expected their pay to be higher, given their interview process was at the level of a FAANG.
So, get the TC expectations cleared before taking on the arduous interview process they have.
