Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Some leetcode style, some more problems aligned with daily sde work, and systems design
Overall process was pretty standard. The recruiter was very nice, and there was a standard software engineering, leetcode-style question. I froze up on the interview and didn't get pass the initial screen. However the interviewer was very nice, but new I didn't pass about 20 minutes in, which seems about standard.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Patreon in Feb 2025
Interview
HR screening, followed by an initial tech screening where we implemented fundamental JavaScript functions. The interviewer allowed me to use Google, reference MDN docs, and explain my thought process throughout. Testing for edge cases were emphasized as important.
