The process was pretty complex and it was simplified a bit since then, and it was pretty impressing. They don't do any silly gotcha coding questions. They do test basic CS fundamentals pretty heavily, but they are smart about it. Mobile platform questions. Simple coding question in Java, Objective-C and C++, questions about platform API (basics to check if you really code in it), and multithreading concepts. Take home assignment - optimization problem (I believe they don't do it any more) with elements of OOD. On-site coding round (leetcode style puzzles, basic CS concepts, data structures, threading, memory management, code review). On-site design round. Designing complete mobile app, frontend and backend (architecture, no visuals). Discussing various constraints, changing requirements as you go, to check if your design is adaptable. On-site company culture fit round with manager. HR round with compensation expectations. On-site team culture fit round with direct team lead.

This task involves creating an Angular webpage using the provided design wireframe. The task needs to be completed following the specifications as closely as possible. Best practices for every language should be adhered to and the development process should resemble how you would develop in an actual work environment (using TDD, committing to VCS, etc). You can always ask for guidance or details to be specified. Task description Create a photo library that includes an infinite random photostream, with the ability to save photos to your “Favorites” library. ● Design ○ Below are wireframes, which give a general view of what the pages should look like ○ The theme (e.g colors, fonts) you can choose by yourself ● Header ○ Consists of 2 buttons and allows you to switch between your “Favorites” library and a random photostream. ○ An active view must be highlighted. ● “Photos” screen has an infinite scrollable list of photos ○ Located at / path. ○ Clicking a photo adds it to Favorites. ○ When scrolling, new photos should be loaded. Loader icon should be displayed. ○ Use https://picsum.photos/200/300 to get random images (or any other resource). ○ Emulate real-world API, when getting photos. Loading new photos should have a random delay of 200-300ms. ● “Favorites” screen ○ Located at /favorites path. ○ Contains a list of favorite photos (no need for infinite scrolling here, just list of all photos). ○ Clicking on a photo opens a single photo page. ○ Favorites list should persist after a page refresh. ● Single photo page ○ Located at /photos/:id path. ○ Shows just a single full-screen photo, instead of a grid. ○ Should contain the “Remove from favorites” button. ○ The header remains the same on this page. General requirements 1. Use Angular Router module 2. Use the latest Angular, and SCSS instead of CSS 3. Use Angular Material components 4. Implement the infinitive scroll on your own. Do not use libraries. 5. Don’t use any backend server for retaining state 6. Add unit tests 7. Think carefully about how to structure your code. Make separate reusable components, modules, etc Test your code
