Frontend Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California

Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied online and received a response quickly, which led to a phone screen. The recruiter during the phone screen didn't explain much, but basically said I'd interview with the engineering manager next. That was set up within a couple of days.

The phone interview with the engineering manager was technical and used CoderPad. The interview also included Q&A and discussions about other technical situations you might encounter in frontend development. The coding portion focused on basic data structure questions.

After the phone interview, I thought I had been ghosted, as I didn't receive any feedback for two and a half weeks. They then rushed an on-site interview out of nowhere, even though I believed I had been rejected.

The on-site itself was standard. There were five one-on-one interviews:

  • Three technical interviews.
  • One interview with somewhat technical questions and Q&A.
  • One interview with a project manager for behavioral questions.

Overall, I felt I lacked in some areas during this part, but the on-site was a good experience.

I am only disappointed with the recruitment process. Everything else felt standard or was a good experience. I suppose I was lacking in skills.
