Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

A recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn with job details.

I had a phone interview where they asked basic questions related to my current job and tech stack.

At the end, they told me I could schedule an interview with Karat, a third-party vendor that conducts interviews based on scripted questions.

Questions

Questions covered Javascript closures, hoisting, and HTML5/CSS3 (specifically Box Sizing and Media Queries).

Coding questions included:

  1. Subdomain count - a LeetCode problem.
  2. An array of parent-child relationships:
    • Find parents with only one child.
    • Find parents with no children.
  3. An extension of problem #2: Determine if two given children share the same ancestor (i.e., are relatives).
