Process

My interview process started with a very friendly and casual chat over my experience, challenges I had, and some situational questions around topics that emerged throughout the interview. After the first chat, I've been through a series of technical challenges. All challenges made sense and were actually fun to do, dealing with some problems I haven't dealt with in my day-to-day in years.

The people interviewing you were super friendly, and they would reason with you around your ideas and solutions. The afternoon interview was a bit exhausting; however, considering the fast response and how much that speeds up the entire process, it is definitely worth doing.

Questions

  • How to give feedback to people (positive and negative).
  • How do you conduct your 1:1s.
  • General conversation about career growth and how to evaluate performance.
  • Connecting a faked request with Promise.resolve to a React component, explaining rationale, where would you put things, and why.
  • The most technically challenging part of the interview, a tree-like navigation problem.
  • A system design question involved database schema design, API design, and front-end overall architecture.
