Interview Process

The interview consisted of four onsite rounds spread over three days. The onsite interviews had minimal coding involved.

  1. VP Interview: Asked two behavioral questions.
  2. Engineer 1: Engaged in a lengthy discussion about previous programming languages and frameworks used, followed by a task to write a basic calculator.
  3. Manager Interview: Focused on various case studies, such as how to trade off legacy projects with current features, handling slow page loading, and managing bug reports.
  4. Engineer 2: Similar to Engineer 1, this round involved a discussion about tools like TypeScript, Tailwind, and ESLint, along with some practical scenarios from work experience. The candidate was asked to write a basic button and answer questions related to TypeScript. This round primarily assessed the candidate’s coding style and compatibility with the tools used by the interviewer.
