Here are the most commonly searched roles for interview reports -
A week after I applied I was scheduled a technical phone interview for a position in Santa Monica. The interview was with a front end engineer from their Palo Alto office. I was asked about my background and what I currently do.
Then we did two coding exercises. One was easy leetcode and the other was medium leetcode. I was able to build and run optimal working solutions for both problems. A few days later I received a rejection that they would not be moving forward.
The interviewer was condescending and I probably got rejected because my frontend isn't as strong as my backend.
