Phone screen with the recruiter, which entailed a behavioral interview followed by a quick, easy technical question. This was then followed by a longer technical screen with one of the engineers at the company.

Question 1
Capitalize the first letter of each word in a sentence
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at FormSwift (Reno, NV) in Jun 2021
Interview
- Quick Hackerrank Challenge
This went well, solved the question quick to move forward
- Phone Call with Recruiter
The recruiter was nice, asked about my background, explained the interview process
- Phone Call with Hiring Manager
This is the part that confused me. I had a relatively good interview, or so I thought.
- I was asked about programming concepts which I answered to the best of my ability. I have a strong understanding of Javascript and have built over 5 projects with it. Both production level and project-based.
- I was asked to solve an algorithm, at this point I stumbled a bit and should have talked more but my natural instinct, when faced with a problem, is to calm myself down and think(requires quietness).
I solved the problem within 2 mins.
- I did the DOM manipulation portion quite well
I was disappointed to hear that I did not move forward. I had a similar interview with LinkedIn and was moved forward. I don't understand what the goal of the interview was? This is for a junior role so it certainly shouldn't be for perfection but to see if the interviewee can get to a solution at a good time.

Question 1
- capitalize string
- manipulate the DOM(create, update, render)
Quick call with recruiter to run through company mission, job description, and expectations for job and the interview process. Followup technical interview through an online IDE similar to CodePen. Question was very easy (described below). Received a notice that they would not go further with my review, regardless of my successful completion of the assignment.
