HoneyBook interview questions

The interviewer started by explaining the company and how the teams are structured. He then asked me to describe one of my projects and went into depth with follow-up questions. After that, he asked a system design question about building a feature to display a stock price graph. The requirement was to allow users to select a date range (for example, for Apple stock) and define an interval, and then return aggregated data based on that interval. For instance, for the last three months, the data could be grouped by day and the average price calculated for each day.

The first interview consisted of an algorithm question and a whiteboard exercise. Unfortunately, the interviewer’s behavior made the experience unpleasant. He was often on his phone during the interview, while simultaneously criticizing my approach. His comments were sarcastic and dismissive, and instead of providing constructive feedback, he repeatedly stated that my direction was completely wrong, even though I was actively progressing toward a solution. I had always considered this company a great place to work and was genuinely excited about the opportunity. Unfortunately, this interview experience significantly changed that perception and left me with little desire to continue the process.
