Bitovi Interview Questions

Initial phone screen was great and I was told they would be moving forward with my candidacy. The interviewer went over what the rest of the interviews would be like and who they would be with. She said the interviews would be starting the following week and that I would hear something either Monday or Tuesday of that week to set things up. She then told me I could reach out to her at any time with any questions. I waited but never heard anything so I emailed the interviewer on Wednesday. Silence. I then waited a few more days and emailed the interviewer again and once more I never received a response. It's been two weeks now and I still have heard nothing. Ghosting a candidate in this turbulent market is never a good look. A simple response would have made all the difference.

After applying for this position online, I received an email a few days later from someone who assists in the interview process for this role asking me to submit two pieces of technical writing. After that, I was told that my writing samples would be reviewed and they would schedule a video interview. I responded the same day and then waited several weeks later to send a follow up email to see if I was still being considered for the position, as I never got the chance to complete a video interview. I also checked LinkedIn and noticed that they had been active online in the interim that I was waiting, so I was unsure why I was not receiving a response. Almost a week and a half later, I received an email stating that the position had been filled without ever moving me forward in the interview process. I felt this was very unprofessional of them to say that they would let someone interview but then respond later saying the position had been filled. I would have appreciated the being told that, after sending in my writing samples, I would no longer be considered for the position, instead of wondering when my interview would come (if ever).

Take home exercise where they introduce a scenario where the client would like to make an application for birthday reminders, they wanted to add a feature where the client can add multiple people and that introduces a bug that you need to identify and write a proposal for how to fix it and why.

1. Take home written assessment in which you must solve a problem for a client and propose possible solutions with their pros/cons. 2. Two vanilla JS technical interviews involving adding features to existing code. 3. React based interview - adding functionality to a component. 4. Javascript algorithm based interview

Round 1 : Written assessment Round 2 : JS verbal + DOM Manipulation exercise Round 3: React Verbal + Coding Challenge. More focussed on approach than syntactical knowledge. Be ready to approach things with a justifiable reason.

Reached out very quickly after submitting my resume to have me perform a roleplay as a consultant assisting a client with a bug. I found it to be pretty straightforward and easy to resolve, but they reached out a few days later to say that it did not meet their standards without offering any additional feedback.

Tests you on Javascript theory in very in depth format. They don't care about HTML/CSS but only JS. It's not a real front end developer experience because you are only asked a very narrow topic but in very details.

I applied online. Interview process included a brief chat with a Bitovi developer. After, I worked on a JavaScript programming exercise. After that, I spoke again with another Bitovi developer for a pair programming session to work on a basic JavaScript problem. Finally, I interviewed in Chicago with the CEO and CTO along with three other developers.

The process was spread out over weeks, with 3 phone interviews before a long on-site day in Chicago. The interviews were a pretty standard sequence of culture fit, technical interview, and general career discussions. The process before the onsite involved several periods of silence for more than a week, and it took a while before they got back to me after the onsite. The onsite involved mostly pair-programming tasks, including string manipulation, DOM knowledge, and advanced Javascript, as well as a general culture fit meeting with the CEO.

There was an initial phone call, then a 1 hour coding test via screen share, and lastly I flew out to Chicago and had multiple hours of live coding challenges directly in front of the founders. It was the most intense interview I’ve ever had, but I understand and respect the reasoning for it.
