      Front End Developer Interview

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at SpiderOak

      Interview

      The interview process was really random and peculiar. I had applied at the start of my search for a new role, and received an email from a higher level team member asking me for time for a introductory phone interview about a month after I applied. After talking about my history and experience, and learning about their products and where this role fits, we did a small technical assessment revolving React. The questions were really vague and introductory; I almost feel like the person I spoke with did not know too much of the answer themselves, and they didn't want to discuss or elaborate on my response -- we just moved onto the next React question like a series of steps. I'd read on previous interviewees experiences here on Glassdoor, for this same company, that they had a similar experience with the React questions, and were never contacted again after submitting the take-home technical assessment -- not even as a "Thank you for applying, but we'll be moving forward with someone else...". As we wrapped up the call and I was told further about the role and future of the company, it felt like they embellished the role and where it could go within the company. I honestly got some vibes that they were never serious about filling the role, but I moved onto the take-home technical assessment anyway. The take-home assessment wasn't particularly difficult, a bit vague and basic, but definitely could test your knowledge of building a simple SPA. I won't go too much into it, but I was never contacted again after submitting it. I reached out a few days after submitting it to confirm that they'd received it, but received no response or acknowledgement. Like the others, I didn't receive any rejection for my candidacy or anything. Not a professional way to conduct the interview process at all, and I won't be surprised if they just have random people interview and complete small projects/take-home assessments to understand how others might build something and using it to have their team build their own. I won't be wasting my time applying in the future, and caution others to think twice as well.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at SpiderOak

      Interview

      Horrible. They will assign you a code challenge in React to complete in 2 hours and after you complete it they BS you stating that you did not write documentation like other candidates. It clearly was not in their task, so they need to give clear instructions. This is BS !!!!

      Question 1

      They asked me React question what is the difference between == and === ?
