Front End Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
The whole experience was really pleasant. The recruiter was super friendly and direct throughout the whole process. I had the opportunity to speak to a bunch of engineers and managers, and I felt like I was given a fair chance to show who I am as a person and what I have to offer as an engineer.
I was given a pretty open-ended take-home coding project, had a couple short phone calls, and then two on-site interviews at which I spoke to a combined 4 engineers/managers.
The interviews were very conversational -- mostly talking about code, the take-home project, and my past work rather than traditional whiteboard-type problems. The process moved along quickly and really sped up after the take-home project.
Questions
A fair number of behavioral questions, some higher-level design questions, and some JavaScript talk.

- 5.0Great Mobile TeamMobile Engineer • Current EmployeeNew York, New York, United StatesDecember 18, 2015Pros: I've only been doing mobile dev here for about 7 months, but I can say that in this time the team has developed extremely well. Our process of development has become one of the best ones I've ever experienced (and I've worked at both very small and very large companies). Everyone on the team is very open to suggestions, and it's great that there is always an open dialog around every facet of development – from contributing to product decisions to being included in the design process. Our team director also has worked extremely hard to ensure that we all get to work on exactly what interests/challenges us. I've learned more in these 7 months than my 2 years combined at my previous jobs. The work is challenging but exceptionally rewarding.Cons: It's honestly hard to think of any cons at this point. I've heard that vertical mobility can be an issue at this company, but I personally haven't witnessed that. I also think there have been some growing pains around how other teams should be structured, but after a recent reorganization, everything has improved drastically.
