I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Chili Piper
Interview
They sent me two HackerRank problems before they would talk to me. One React problem and one algorithm problem with 70 minutes to complete it.
The React portion involved a validation form problem with minimal instructions. It was impossible to pass the tests without looking at the tests. You had to write specific prop names and structure your code in a very specific way. They also asked you to use a CSS library that I've never used before and the link they provided to the docs was broken. Oh, also the boilerplate code was pretty bad. A link wrapped in a div in lieu of a button. Huh?
The algorithm question was impossible to do in the allotted time unless you have had done that very specific algorithm questions previously in your life. Why am I being asked complicated algorithm questions for a front end interview?
I didn't bother submitting any code. Doesn't seem to be the type of company I would want to work for.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
React Question (Form Validation) and an Algorithm Question
Hacker rank coding test consisting of one react problem and one algorithm. Make sure you read the tests carefully to understand how they want you to solve the problem. Algorithm was quite challenging.
