Senior JavaScript Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York

Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I had a phone screen with a recruiter before the technical phone screen. The technical phone screen was straightforward, basically asking how to parse information out of a stream and return sorted results with the smallest time complexity.

Then I was asked for an onsite, which was quite long. It included six different interviewers, and a video chat via CoderPad.

From what I hear, Twitch conducts two types of interviews: either build-focused or algorithm-focused. I had a build-focused interview.

Two of the interviews were behavioral (e.g., "Tell me about a time when...") and product-focused (mostly role-playing, somewhat anecdotal). The other four started from the resume and migrated to coding-based questions, three of which required me to write code solutions.

I heard back about the results two days after the interview.

Questions

Design an API to get user data and play a video based on a specific stream URL.
