I applied online. I interviewed at Macy's in Jan 2019
Interview
I interviewed for junior UI role. Had one phone screen with the recruiter, two technical phone screen with engineering manager, and 3 hour onsite. I really enjoyed speaking with the engineering manager and his questions were very fair. I got bunch of Javascript trivia that weren't too hard. Onsite didn't involve any coding which I thought was very weird and the most technical thing I did was going over my project. One round of interview was very unpleasant, I got asked some questions that weren't very fair and he looked pretty upset that I didn't know some of the questions.
