Senior Front End Engineer Interview

Apr 12, 2015

Anonymous Interview Candidate

No offer

Negative experience

Easy interview

Application

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Platfora (San Mateo, CA) in Jan 2015

Interview

Went onsite for an interview. The interview went well but they came back saying that they were into "all" sorts of technologies/ui frameworks and that I did not have enough knowledge about "all" of them. One of the interviewers even argued about how one of the technologies they were using were far superior to all others out there! He was just so arrogant and ignorant! They reached me after a year and I simply rejected the offer to meet them again!

Application

I applied online. I interviewed at Platfora

Interview

HR will contact you to set up engineering team member. In the call they gave some information about what Platfora does and what intern does. During the call, they sent me link to collabedit.com for shared text editor. They asked one logical puzzle question on editor. I messed up, interviewer solved it and explained to me.That's all. If selected further there would be a 90 minute coding test and one more technical round.
