Technical Coding System Design
The interview process involved an initial call with the CTO, followed by a technical screen, and then an on-site interview. I found the on-site structure to be misleading based on the email received. Expect white-boarding questions, with each interviewer asking at least two questions: one algorithm and one main problem. The questions were focused on product-related fin-tech, leaning more towards backend than full-stack. A significant challenge was working with their data set and solving problems with limited context. The order of asking algorithm questions before the main problem felt inefficient.
Confirmed questions5 questions
- Could you build a website that changes color to red or blue upon the user's first visit and maintains that color?
- How would you approach a recursive algorithm problem to flatten an array?
- Can you design a system for scaling to a large number of users?

Coding Technical
The technical phone interview involved implementing an app. I fully met all requirements and successfully completed four test cases. However, during the fifth test case, the interviewer stopped me a few minutes early. They said I failed due to insufficient experience with the chosen testing library, as I was taking too long on the last test case.

- Could you write code for a web app that randomly sets the background color to either red or blue upon the first visit, and ensures the background color remains consistent on subsequent page loads?
- Additionally, please write tests to verify that the app functions correctly.

Coding Coding Technical
I had a phone interview, which was pretty standard. Then, there were two pair programming sessions where we had to code and test a web app within an hour. It wasn't super hard, but it took time. Two interviewers watched me code via screen share. I got about halfway through a solution when one interviewer stopped me 45 minutes in. They said my solution didn't scale, missed edge cases, and wasn't what they were looking for. I've done a lot of interviews and I'm a decent web developer, so it felt like a waste of time. Not going to write a lot about the assessment, but there were clear judgmental issues, and my time with Digit wasn't productive.
Confirmed questions2 questions
- Can you build a web app where users see a landing page with either a red or blue background, and this color stays the same on all subsequent visits?
- Please write tests to make sure all the code you've written functions correctly.
