Interview
Recruiter reached out through LinkedIn to schedule interview. Quick introduction call with recruiter and then a 1 hour pair programming call with a front end developer a few days later. Programming part was to fix a prebuilt broken todo list using Vanilla JS. There were two bugs you’ll need to fix and once complete you’ll need to add a few new features to the todo list. The interviewer was nice but a bit robotic and wasn’t familiar with the day to day tasks of a DT which made it tough to ask questions about the role at the end of the interview. Felt like it was one of their first times interviewing which made it a bit awkward but overall still a pretty fun interview. Got through most of the fixes but still received a generic rejection email couple days later.

Pretty straightforward interview process. An initial call with a recruiter, a Hiring manager interview, a portfolio presentation, and an onsite loop with 4 rounds. Everyone was very friendly and knowledgeable and the recruiter was very responsive and helpful.

Interview
I applied to work at Square. First step was chatting with a recruiter. She was really nice. I got moved to the live coding assessment. My interviewer was great, I genuinely enjoyed speaking with him. He was very helpful. Unfortunately I did not move forward, I don't like live coding assessments and freeze up. If you're good at those you'll do well. My recruiter provided me with feedback and encouraged me to apply again in the future.
