The first interview was a live online coding challenge, I had the question about how to get the least amount of coins for giving change.
After that, I had a 5-6 hour in person interview on the Carlsbad campus. Two of the interviewers were remote from the Sunnyvale office. All of them had you do whiteboarding/live coding session. Questions included:
- Networking / how does the internet work
- Fibonacci using recursion and not using recursion
- Currying
- Closures
- Find the highest and lowest sum out of an array
- Using reduce to change an array of objects to one object
- shuffle a deck of cards
- Implement your own forEach
- Performance of JS array functions
- How do you think Youtube works?
Overall I thought it was not too bad, I thought I did well. I was kind of surprised when I didn't get an offer. There was one interviewer that I think didn't like me, he was condescending and bad at communicating. I would ask him what he wanted, he would give me a one word answer, and when I tried to continue he would tell me "no not that way". And when I didn't know something, I admitted it, but he wouldn't move on from there.
