Process

  1. Sourcer
  2. Recruiter
  3. Tech Screen
  4. 6 or so hours of interviews
  5. Decision

Don't bother. A recruiter reached out to me for a staff frontend position.

Had the tech screen, which I expected from a frontend interview.

The interviewer sold me on Thumbtack and how they had a dedicated frontend experience for engineers. The onsite was anything but that.

Feature design felt like a "help me improve a feature I'm responsible for."

Fast forward to a LeetCode-styled interview question that had no part in being in a frontend interview.

The feedback was interesting, questioning my problem-solving skills?

Onsite had two LeetCode-styled questions late in the day that make no sense in asking a frontend.

Questions

  1. Study the functionality here and fix this broken code.
  2. See interview process.
