I applied at a university career fair with the encouragement of the recruiter I spoke with.

After that, I received an email containing a link to a 15-minute coding test. I can't remember the problem anymore, but it was an easy one.

Once I passed that, I was given a Skype interview with one of their engineers. The interview was mostly technical, starting with web basics and then moving on to a coding exercise.

At the time of this interview, I actually only had frontend experience and was entirely unprepared for even the most basic coding problems, so the interview was difficult for me.

In hindsight, though, I think the questions are fair and quite basic for someone who actually knows how to do full-stack development (as opposed to just frontend).

Also, the coding problem was preferred to be done in JavaScript.

Why would you like to work here?

What is the HTTP cycle?

If something was slow on the frontend, what issues could be happening in the backend?
