I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Scale in Apr 2018
Interview
Really hard coding challenges with someone looking over your shoulder and being everything except helpful. Certainly not something you would want in your day to day job.
These companies needs to review their interview process. Nobody is able to solve hard challenges in under 30 minutes with someone looking over your shoulder.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1) Making a replica of the Google's magnifying glass doodle in under 30 minutes in a Codepen.
2) Discover and fix a bug in the Express library.
3) Implement a rate limiter middleware in Express.
