Front End Engineer Interview Experience - Seattle, Washington
Process
I received an email for an HR phone screening where they reviewed the position: a full-time, remote front-end engineering role.
We went over some basics, and they then set up a technical screening for Tuesday of the following week.
On Monday morning, the day before my interview, they informed me that the position was changing from a remote front-end engineering position to an on-site senior full-stack engineer position and that my interview was canceled.
I don't mind the time invested in interview preparation, but 24 hours' notice? Really?
I burned a vacation day for this interview. The fact that you didn't manage to figure this out until the day before my interview suggests a company that has absolutely no idea what it's doing. It's one thing if you manage to figure this out a week before interviews start, but the day before?
Questions
If I was comfortable with a salary range between $100,000 and $135,000.
